We explore one of the most significant yet often overlooked uprisings in Middle Eastern history—the Syrian Revolt of 1925-1927 - with Professor Michael Provence, a Professor on modern Middle Eastern history from the University of California, San Diego, and author of The Great Syrian Revolt and the Rise of Arab Nationalism.

We discuss the causes and consequences of the Syrian Revolt, examining how it challenged French colonial rule and ignited the flames of Arab nationalism across the region. We also discuss the broader impact of the revolt on the post-Ottoman Middle East, the rise of modern nation-states, and the enduring legacy of this pivotal period in shaping Syria’s future
