Abstract

Similarly to many other artificially created states of the Middle East, present-day Syria was carved out of the Ottoman Empire by France and Britain at the end of the First World War. Syria has always been on the route of trade between the West and East. Nonetheless, until the end of the Second World War, there had never been an independent Syrian state. In the past, the area currently known as Syria was part of the Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian, Roman, Arab, Mameluke, Ottoman and French empires. The word Syria, which was the Greek and Roman name for the province in that area, was widely known by the Arabs as Sham (Hopwood 1988).
