An early iteration of the Ba'athist movement in Syria before the 1966 coup that split the party. The original Ba'ath Party — co-founded by Michel Aflaq and Salah al-Din al-Bitar in Damascus in 1947 — combined pan-Arab nationalist ideology with socialist economics and a secular rejection of both Western liberalism and Marxist internationalism. The 1966 military coup replaced the civilian founding leadership with a more radical military wing; Aflaq fled to Iraq, where the Ba'ath's Iraqi branch (later Saddam Hussein's party) maintained ideological continuity with the original founders.
