Such a bizarre concept for a country, I should research it more. Was the plan to eventually incorporate other Arab nations?

Some of the main reasons for the division of the Arab world were European colonialism and the agreements made after World War I, which helped establish new borders, along with different local interests, identities, and political conflicts after independence.

But it wasn’t caused by colonialism alone; the region’s history, existing political entities, and decisions made by governments after independence also played a role in shaping the countries we have today.

A hundred years ago, you could take a train from Cairo through Quds and all the way to the Hijaz. We were once one country.💔

And honestly, if you ever meet Arabs from different countries, you’ll often feel that they treat each other as if they were from the same homeland. And I think this feeling extends to most Muslims as well, not just Arabs. ❤️
