Military Coup Disbands United Arab Republic

September 28th, 1961 63 years ago

A military coup in Damascus terminated the United Arab Republic, a political union between Egypt and Syria. This coup saw the Syrian faction of the union taking charge as tensions between the two nations escalated. The change in leadership was marked by the removal of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's influence in Syria, leading to a decisive separation of the two states that had existed as a unified political entity since 1958. The aftermath reshaped political dynamics in the region.
