EstablishmentFailed proposal

In March 1972, Ba'athist Iraq proposed to Egypt and Ba'athist Syria a re-establishment of the United Arab Republic, which failed in 1961. The Iraqi proposal was an immediate reaction to Jordan's proposal for a United Arab Kingdom but collided with the already established Federation of Arab Republics and failed because of Iraqi–Syrian differences.
