  • When the bloody French mandate in Syria finally came to an end in 1946, Syriawas ‘in many respects a state without being a nation-state, and a political en-tity without being a political community’. Syria’s borders had been, in largepart, imposed by European powers and there was a general consensus thatthe divisions between the States were artificial. To the extent that there wasa nationalist movement, it emphasised Arab unity rather than Syrian unity.
