Abstract

Arab nationalists emerged as a community at the beginning of the twentieth century. But they did not become a political organization until 1956 under the name of The Movement of Arab Nationalists by a group of young national students at the American University in Beirut. This organization was affiliated with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and his nationalistic policy. This gave the movement an opportunity to expand and expand in the Arab world. It established several branches, including the Yemen branch, which was one of the most active branches, and the only branch that called for the use of armed resistance to liberate itself from colonialism. It was also the only branch that managed to reach power and rule. It was a key partner in the ruling power in northern Yemen after it succeeded in establishing the revolution in cooperation with Baathists. And then succeeded in ruling the south after the expulsion of British colonialism and the independence of southern Yemen on 30 November 1967.
