The Arab Baʽath Movement (Arabic: حركة البعث العربي Ḥarakat al-Baʽth al-‘Arabī), also literally translated as Arab Resurrection Movement or Arab Renaissance Movement, was the Baathist political movement and predecessor of the Arab Socialist Baʽath Party.[1] The party was first named Arab Ihya Movement (Ḥarakat al-Iḥyāʼ al-‘Arabī) literally translated as Arab Revitalization Movement, until 1943 when it adopted the name "Baʽath".[2][3] It was founded in 1940 by Michel Aflaq.[4][5][6] Its founders, Aflaq and Bitar, were both associated with nationalism and socialism.[7]
