NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1958: Nasser’s Zenith (19 Jul 1958) https://buff.ly/2JC1P3c In March 1958 Yemen agreed to federate with Nasser’s United Arab Republic. Just four months later, the rival Arab Federation collapsed when pro-Nasser officers overthrew the King of Iraq, prompting the panicking leaders of Lebanon and Jordan to request Western intervention. For a brief moment the dream of pan-Arabism seemed within Nasser’s grasp. However, that moment passed, and in 1961 the United Arab Republic itself would fall apart when the Syrians rejected Nasser’s rule. #easternmediterranean #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1950s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1958 #panarabism #unitedarabrepublic #nasser #iraqrevolution #jordan #july #july19 #lebanon #northyemen #baathism #westernintervention #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics #nasserism (at Amman, Jordan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzq2z_MgohT/?igshid=t2z3ky7cpsyl
