The Arab League, formed in 1945, was intended to create a united Arab front in dealing with the pressing issues of the day, especially European colonialism in the region and the emerging conflict in Palestine. It was ... meant to promote Arab culture and language through the financing of educational programs and cultural exchanges. The guiding principle behind the League was the implementation of Pan-Arabism, that is, ideals that stress the unity of all Arabs based on common cultural, historic, linguistic, and religious ties. The Pan-Arab movement sought to revamp the entire colonial political system and replace it with a collective Arab region with uniform political, social, and cultural policies.
