Syria is an ancient kingdom dating from the third millennium B.C. It is bordered by Turkey to the north, and was part of the Turkish empire until 1920 when it became a state under French mandate. The French withdrew in 1944. In 1958 Syria joined Egypt as the United Arab Republic, but broke away again in 1961.
