After 1945, a pattern that emerged in Arab nationalist movements was a push for independence from colonial rule. Arab nationalists sought to reclaim their nations' sovereignty and reject foreign intervention in their affairs. This movement often focused on promoting Arab unity and solidarity across countries in the Middle East. Arab nationalist leaders like Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Hafez al-Assad of Syria played significant roles in advocating for these ideals and mobilizing Arab populations towards a common goal. Ultimately, the Arab nationalist movements aimed to establish self-determination and create a unified Arab state.
