The '''Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party''' (Arabic: حزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي‎ ''Ḥizb Al-Ba‘ath Al-‘Arabī Al-Ishtirākī [ˈħɪzb alˈbaʕaθ alˈʕarabiː alˈʔɪʃtɪraːki''ː]) was a political party founded in Syria by Michel Aflaq, Salah al-Din al-Bitar, and associates of Zaki al-Arsuzi. The party espoused Ba'athism (from Arabic: ''البعث‎ Al-Ba'ath or Ba'ath'', meaning "renaissance" or "resurrection"), which is an ideology mixing Arab nationalist, pan-Arabism, Arab socialist, and anti-imperialist interests. Ba'athism calls for unification of the Arab world into a single state. Its motto, "Unity, Liberty, Socialism", refers to Arab unity, and freedom from non-Arab control and interference.

The original Ba'ath Party was split up in 1966 into the Iraqi and Syrian regional commands. The Syrian Ba'ath Party serves as the current ruling party of Syria and is lead by current President of Syria [[Bashar al-Assad]] (and was lead by Bashar's father, [[Hafez al-Assad]], during his rule of the country from 1971 to 2000.) The Iraqi Ba'ath Party was in power in Iraq from 1963 (initially lead by [[Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr]] and later by [[Saddam Hussein]]) until being overthrown by the United States in 2003. The Iraqi Ba'ath Party continues to function; they are currently lead by [[Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri]] and maintain an armed wing, the [[Army of the Men of the Naqshbandi Order]].
