Union of Arab Republics (1972)

This article is about the 1972 Iraqi proposal for a union with Egypt and Syria. For the 1972–1977 also called "Union" of Egypt, Libya and Syria, see Federation of Arab Republics.

In March 1972, Ba'athist Iraq proposed to Egypt and Syria a re-establishment of the United Arab Republic, which failed in 1963. 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.
