Steadfast And Rejectionist Front Of Arab States: Iraq's 14 July 1958 Coup And The Unraveling Of The Arab Union
Authors : Bishop Elizabeth .
Abstract
Wm Roger Louis' Revolutionary Year addressed Egypt and Syria's union. According to Malcolm Kerr, the region witnessed an 'Arab cold war,' and as Charles Tripp pointed out, the United Arab Republic “represented a defeat for the pro-Iraqi party in Syria, and brought Nasser's influence to the very borders of Iraq.” This paper addresses a Hashemite union that balanced Nasser's UAR. On 14 February 1958, King Faisal II of Iraq and his cousin, King Hussein of Jordan, united their realms. Three months later, Iraq's parliament ratified a constitution for the new Arab union, transferring defense to it. This 'Arab cold war' gave rise to conflicted loyalties: as when al Jaridah reported twelve Jordanian officers were arrested for attempting a coup d'état.
