Britain's Position Towards The Establishment of The Arab League (1943-1945)

   Since its arrival to the Arab Levant Region, its occupation of its countries, and its domination over them according to its policy ʻDivide and Ruleʼ, Britain adopted a policy that had changed during World War 2 (WW2), despite the increasing importance of the Arab Levant Region. British policy began supporting and blessing the establishment of an Arab unity. Though this unity was not an absolute one, it was in the form of a unified model that serves its policy in the region.
However, when Britain adopted this policy of ‘Divide and Rule’, the real danger that threatened its interests and existence in the Levant lied in the Arabs themselves, more than the danger arising from a competitive European country. Nonetheless, Britain decided to encourage the Arabs to opt for the Unity when it realized that the real threat lurked in other competing countries, on top of which was Germany. Britain felt the seriousness of that threat more than the one coming from the Arabs. Therefore, it supported the Arab unity that later emerged under the name of The Arab League.
