Syrian Ba'ath Party

The Syrian Ba'ath Party is a political organization founded in the 1940s that promotes Arab unity, socialism, and Arab nationalism. It became the ruling party in Syria after a coup in 1963, centralizing power and shaping national policies. The party emphasizes state-led development, secularism, and Arab identity, often maintaining strict control over political opposition. Over the decades, it has been led primarily by the Assad family, impacting Syria's political landscape through authoritarian governance and involvement in regional conflicts.
