How did Syria become a country?

Answer 1

It depends on how the question is intended.

Syria first became a country around 3000 BC as the Kingdom of Aram/Aramea.

However, modern Syria became independent in April 1946 as pressure from Syrian Nationalist forces and the British forced the French to evacuate their troops. The Syrian Nationalists then adoped the republican government created during the French Mandatory Period.

Answer 2

Syria gained independence from France in 1946 following World War II. It became a country through a combination of political movements, negotiations, and international recognition.
