It goes a little bit deeper than that, at least if you're talking about uniting Mexico, Central America, and S. America on the simple basis that we all speak Spanish. The conditions, history, culture, and development of these 3 areas is so different that a united government would be so inefficient as to perpetually be a state on the brink of collapse. Like, for Christ's sake, have you seen how bad our governments' track records are when they're governing the smaller nations we have now? I don't see that changing just because we decided to unite on the sole basis that we all speak Spanish and used to be Spanish colonies. That being said, Latin America could very much make use of a trading bloc like the European Union have so that we can't be bullied into unfair trade deals by bigger nations (*cough* USA *cough*), just without the one currency. (Yes, people, I know Brazil doesn't speak Spanish. And neither does Hati, Guyana, and etcetera, etc... But I'm talking about a premise where the Spanish speaking countries of Latin America unite, as I'm assuming that is what OP meant. After all, none of those other countries speak Spanish with a funny accent. They don't speak Spanish at all).

@@DaroriDerEinzige The biggest problem in the way the US perceived geopolitics in the WW2 and post WW2 era is that the Persian Gulf was seen as crucial for global stability. This was an error. It may have been essential to maintain control of PERSIAN oil in WW2, but Saudi Oil wasnt important at that point. Allowing them to form an oil cartel was one of the biggest mistakes of geopolitics in the history of the world. As far as that relates back to the parts of your comment that deal with the prosslatizing (phonetical pronunciation) (ie proselytizing), i totally agree with you: Saudi Arabia, the source of radical islamist wahabbism is a menace to the world, and probably should've been toppled long ago (in an ideal world). However, in our world where it is 'woke' to talk about 'first peoples' and 'preferred pronouns', the plight of those beheaded in Riyadh rates way down the list of priorities for the idiots in the West (and sadly im one of them).

@DaroriDerEinzige

2 жыл бұрын

@@wildec2 I agree with you to a certain extend although I wanna point out; Saudi Arabia was needed for the geopolitics as it is. Also, in the past we've seen what happens when the Saudis tried to "press" the West with their Oil - and it wasn't pleasant for them. Sure, they have now billions of Dollars, but power isn't defined by the wealth of the individuals. In the greater scheme, those conflicts in the near east were needed as a weak Africa is for a liberal capitalistic world order. Otherwise, Europeans would be forced to either trade fairly with certain parts of the world or even cooperate with other parts like Russia. Which would mean Europe would probaly become more independent and again focused on ourself. It hasn't really to do with "Woke-Culture" to be honest, that's more or less a trend primarly there to focus our attention on other things than "How does lobbyism destroy everything which is good here.". Especially Europe suffers under its weak leadership, Politicians don't have to fear anyform of consequences and their main goal - and here the Party doesn't matter - is to gain wealth for their own. Things like the Refugee Crysis could have been easily avoided if we wouldn't have intervened in those Regions as we did and destablizied them. Also, the arabic Spring was sold to us as something good; it wasn't though. The War against Terrorism? The name itself is already a PR Stunt. But the crux on the whole thing is, big Cooperations made big money with those conflicts and still do, while Humans suffering. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Communist or anything like that - But personally I think the power should lay in the hands of a democratic State, which reforms and improves itself constantly and not in the Hand of some Cooperations which are mainly concerned with Profits. Long story short, yes - it wasn't a great decision to support Saudi Arabia in the way and form we did, but to this day it's needed for US Geopolitics. If we would wanna change that, we would've to step up and bring actually peace to some regions and change some things at home. We would've to stop to embrace mindless consumerism in order to be able to form a economical system in which labour gets fairly paid in Europe, and paid enough so that certain regions in Africa - for an example - can stabilize and develop themself. We've to stop to belief in US American Propaganda which serves the sole reason to shut you up and make you devout to a System which has mainly in mind to exploit you. Not everybody can become a Millionair, we all know that - But when the majority of wealth even in the west is concentrated on a few, it's time to wake up. We're, and you will find a great study in that regards from the Swiss - so no "Woke Culture"-Stuff in it - in regards to that, which states mathematically proven that we're (from the 1990's forward) the first Generation in History which will have less than their parents no matter how hard we'll work. That's an undeniable disgrace to everything Europe stand for - especially if we considering the fact that Europe expierenced one of its biggest economically growths in its History in the decades since the second WW. And I think, you don't have to be a "Leftie"/"Communist" or "Socialist" to be angry about that - But in many European states, there's simple no real "Middle" anymore, no real Conservatives. Because they got bought, they sold themselfs as the Social Democrats did - and until those things ain't broadly accepted and the people responsible for that development officially charged, we wont change european Politics I think.

One huge factor is a lot of Arabs did not see other Arabs as part one big ethnic group, in a similar vain to how Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes don't see themselves as one big ethnic group. Too many differences have accumulated up over 1300 years. And each Arab region mixed in a considerable amount of indigenous culture: Berber culture in the Maghreb, Ancient Egyptian culture in Egypt, Aramaic culture in Syria and Iraq etc.

There is no such thing as "Arabs" for 1300 years. This is ahistorical fantasy. Arabic wasn't even a spoken language for most of the region 200 years ago.

Arabs didn't "mix" with indigenous people, implying the Arabs in those countries today are not indigenous which is patently false.

Good video, but it missed some points: 1) Indigenous non-Arab communities within the so-called 'Arab World', most notably Kurds and Berbers, among others, resisted Pan-Arabism for they saw, and rightly at that, that it would mean forced assimilation and would threaten their already precarious position in increasingly authoritarian and Arabo-centric states. 2) Many Arabic-speakers, especially amongst the Christians of Lebanon and Shi'is of Iraq, saw Pan-Arabism as a Sunni Muslim project, which, whether Pan-Arabists intended or not, was largely true. So, they also resisted pan-Arabist projects. 3) Finally, I think the video overestimates how committed Arab leaders were to Pan-Arabism. It must be remembered that most Arab governments were (and still are) filled with corrupt and autocratic elites to the brim. They payed lip service to Arab unity to satisfy the street, but they were never that serious about Pan-Arabism because they knew it would weaken their control in the long run.

@@yousir1254 You're right. I shouldn't have generalized so much. Many Shi'is and Christians (and even some non-Arabs, like the Chaldeans in Iraq, and some Kurds and Berbers) in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere were, and still are, fierce believers of Pan-Arabism. Although I doubt most of them envision the same sort of Pan-Arabism that was espoused by Ba'athists and others like them. Also by Pan-Arabism I mean the idea that all Arab-majority countries and regions should dissolve into one state. I don't think that's very popular nowadays, especially in countries with strong national identities, like Iraq, Egypt, and Lebanon.

The only era when Arabs really united was the Islam era, I don't think its ever possible for the Arabs to unite without completely submitting to the Islamic rule.

This, and since my younger age was my dream, to see all those countries under one flag. Although under a dictatorship regimes this is not achievable, a reason why I fought the tunisian dictator backthen in 2010 and put my life in at risk.

Hi If possible could you please drop some further reading on this topic. Many Thanks.

I guess it's kinda doomed to fail unless the participating nations all adopt a system where "Who's in charge" isn't really all up to the people in charge. At that point they could try again where they'll hold a special election or something like that to decide on who will lead the newly formed government. I would probably say there should be some cautionary rules to counteract unfair favoritism in the period of transition where people understandably might stick togheter and vote based on their original national identity or what favors them specifically before they all start to comfortably identify as one big thing. The ground rules would obviously need to be super carefully considered but one idea I have to accomplish the goal is a rule against voting for a leader from your nationality or ethnic group so that is eliminated as the main reason for voting so that every country don't feel like their representative should've won or suspect that the winner won that way and ultimately not accept the results. Like for example a Egyptian can't vote for a Egyptian leader but anyone else can if they think they're the most promising leader.

Pan-Arabism however has been dying over the last few years. As an Iraqi Arab I can safely say that Arab countries are trying to elaborate what distinguishes them over the other ones, rather than trying to find common causes and goals. Many factors contribute to this, but mostly is the Arab Spring consequences and the many proxy wars currently taking place in the region. Feel free to ask me anything regarding this matter..

My main interpretation of the video, visavis all the other reading ive done on the subject, is that it was a failure of the leaders and the governments of the different countries to translate what the people wanted into reality. The shia-sunni divide is also a big impediment since the islamic revolution in Iran back in 78/79. That put a shia theocracy in charge of Iran. The region has been destabilized and threatened by Iran ever since; this has also made 'uniting' difficult. The best way to unite is via federation. That way the member states get to keep as much sovereignty as necessary to make it work, but the people then get to unite under one foreign policy, defense policy, trade policy, etc. and can freely move around within the borders.

I have a masters in Ancient Cultures, specializing in ancient near eastern studies. It is my theory that since ancient times the majority of people in the middle east want peace, prosperity and a surprising number want unity. It is the greed and ambition of leaders in the region which leads to war and as always, religion is dragged into the mix in order to divide the people. This is a pattern I have observed from the Sumerian city states and polytheistic religions through the rise of Christianity and Islam, to the Isreali-Palestinian conflict and through to Syria, etc... The region seems plagued by leaders who don't understand the words "sharing" or "enough".

Hey, I really love your channel and work you do and here I have an idea for another video: how Poland gained it's independence in 1918 and how for the next few years the borders were being created. And also some info about the Polish - Bolshevik war should be added. I don't know how much you know about that but that's a very interesting story and it would make a super rich in data video. Keep up the great work! :]

2:11 ¨Nationalisation¨ I just love that part like the other video ¨Making friends¨

There are actually more reasons why pan arabism failed as an ideology. 1. Religion. A thing about Baathism is that when it comes to faith they are secular and theydont see it as important (which makes sense since they had socialist sympathies). But many Arabs were still devout muslims or christians and that made them hate each other. Not to mention that there were christian ethnic minorities like the Copts and Assyrians who want nothing to do with a pan-arab nation. Eventually when Nasser died in 1970, his succesors, Sadat and Mubarak, reversed a lot of his policies and made religious Sharia the legal code. This also happened when Gaddafi ditched arabism over his own ideology the Third International Theory, which focuses more on Pan-Africanism. And the second and most controversial, Israel. The jewish nation had a big role in the decline of Baathism and Arab nationalism in general. Thats because it managed to defeat all of its neighbours three times in 1948, 1967 and 1973. In fact it was actually why Gaddafi's short live union failed. Because Gaddafi saw Sadat's peace treaty with Israel as a betrayal and ultimately what torn Egypt and Libya's relation resulting in the short Egyptian-Libyan or the Four Days War because i kid you not it lasted for FOUR days.

After watching Band of Brothers again last night, it made me wonder about a topic you should do good sir. I thought about a question, “what did the general German population think of returning German soldiers after WWII and how did they interact?” I thought of it because I realized how well received WWII vets were and still are here in the states, I’ve always wondered how they were received elsewhere in the world

Well, 'returning German soldiers' were just half of the 'general German population', because every male between 16 and 60 who could walk was drafted. So in general they were just glad when their relatives returned at all and weren't in a mass grave in russia. Besides there was total destruction and starvation to be faced in post war germany. No time to reflect on patriotic sentiments.

Also the 1967 Arab-Israeli War took a lot of steam out of the pan-arabist engine, Egypt was probably the loudest advocate for union, with more conservative monarchies content with the status quo. The war would see Egypt thoroughly humiliated, however. Israel would take the entirety of the Sinai Peninsula, all the way to the Suez Canal, before returning it in exchange for recognition. The effect is twofold, Egypt loses their might and credibility among the Arab world, and Egypt and Syria's rapprochement with Israel meant forfeiting all claims and ambitions to conquer Israel.

You forgot about the 1973 Yom Kippur war where almost every Arab country participated in some way against Israel. But yeah the 1979 peace treaty definitely was a huge catalyst in all of this.

Egypt wasn't so pro-Soviet, they played Soviets against Americans by switching sides. This was a popular third-world tactic of the time, and it placed them in the "nonaligned" camp associated with Yugoslavia, who did similar things, placing itself as a middle-ground between the two ideologies. India did likewise, with a fully Western style of Democratic parliamentary government.

In my ideal world, I would create a federal council with a representative from each federal state (or former country)

The british controlled many parts of the Arab States in Asia before the collapse of the ottoman empire and reason for this was due to Britain offering small Arab kingdoms to join their empire since they didn't want to join the ottomans. The only 2 who joined the empire after ww1 was modern day Iraq and Jordan. Both were moderately rich during their time in the british empire and after independence but we all know what happened to little Iraq when uncle Sam got involved.

One thing we should probably note in this is that while Ottoman's were muslim they were culturally distinct from the arab world and often had mixed relations with its arab subject during the peek of ottoman power.
