Britain’s role in the fragmentation of peace is relatively undisputed.

Besides the territorial and population losses, the Arabs had suffered a profound psychological setback in that they felt they had been humiliated and dishonored.” (O’Neill)
whilst proving to have little effectiveness in accomplishing their aims in the period of 1964-1974, had a significant and enduring effect on the events in the Middle East. Created in 1964 on the initiative of Egyptian president Nasser, the PLO would soon become one of the most influential bodies of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

foreign capital for its new economic initiatives, and regional independence. While Sadat succeeded in achieving some of these goals with the accords, others he did not. I will examine the years leading up to, during, and after the Camp David accords, and how internal and external pressures pushed Sadat to accept that particular course on which he set Egypt.

This was between the Arabs living in Palestine and the Jews living in Israel. It was Zionism for the Jews against Arab nationalism. This conflict was known as the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Toward the end of the 19th century, Southern Syria (Palestine) was divided into two regions, inhabited primarily by Arab Muslims, and ruled by the Turkish Ottoman Empire (BBC
