United Arab Republic | MCQs

Explanation

The union between Egypt and Syria in the 1950s was called the United Arab Republic (UAR).

The UAR was a political union that lasted from 1958 to 1961. 

The UAR was formed on February 1, 1958, when Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and Syrian President Shukri al-Quwatli announced the merger.

The UAR ended on September 28, 1961, when Syria seceded after a military coup.

Egypt continued to use the name "United Arab Republic" until 1971, when it was formally dissolved by Anwar Sadat.
