mi-ior more than a dozen centuries the Arabs. their civilization ersda led in the scorched Arabian pen- insula, have conquered and betll conquered until the tides of his- tory scattered them over I vast area now loosely known as Arab world."

Today the heart and centre of that world is Egypt. and Egypt has set the Western world's nerves edge. Nationalization of the Suez Canal, focus of the immediate crisis, is not the onl)' western worry. Arab ambitions, tempers. frustrations and hatrcds have spread ft-rmeiit from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic.

But in the 13th century this

power began to wane. The Arabs lost Persia and the eastern part of their empire to the Turks and Mongols. They lost Spain to Chris- tians. Their empire split itself In fierce rivalries.

For hundreds of years much of

the Arab world lived under the non-Arab sway of an Ottoman

But great power politics kept the Arab world split after the war. Since the two world wars, however, many have become independent: Saudi Arabia. Egypt, Yemen.

The rise of a hero like Nasser inflamed the deep - rooted desire among Arabs to regain their an-
