Al-Baath Party (in Syria)

The Al-Baath Party is a political party in Syria, founded in the mid-20th century, that promotes Arab nationalism and socialism. It was established with the goal of uniting Arab countries and improving the lives of Arab people through social and economic reforms. In 1963, the party took power in Syria, leading to the establishment of a one-party state. The party has been closely associated with the Assad family, particularly under Hafez al-Assad and his son Bashar al-Assad. Its policies have significantly influenced Syrian politics, society, and international relations, especially during the ongoing civil conflict.
