Syria in the calculations of US foreign policy (1918 - 1949)

Abstract

It is clear from the context of events that Syria occupied a clear position in the calculations of American foreign policy before and after its establishment as a modern state on the ruins of several Ottoman provinces, as these relations permeated many positive and negative positions according to the nature of the interests of the United States of America in the region, and the intersection of its interests with the Syrian national interests Although the Syrians were grateful for the American positions in general regarding their country at first, that feeling of satisfaction towards America turned into a state of indignation due to the Americans’ manipulation of Syrian national feelings and their blatant interference in their internal affairs, especially after the first military coup in 1949.
