Baghdad Conference of 1963

The Baghdad Conference of 1963 was a meeting of Arab leaders in Baghdad to strengthen cooperation among Arab countries and respond to political tensions in the region. Key issues included the desire for Arab unity, opposition to Western influence, and concerns over the threat posed by Israel. The conference played a significant role in fostering Arab nationalism and led to the formation of the United Arab Republic, a short-lived political union between Egypt and Syria. It marked a pivotal moment in Arab politics during the early 1960s, emphasizing regional solidarity and independence.
