Well, Greater Syria was formed back in the days by an alliance that shocked the middle east people(especially the Saudi Arabians) It was a huge alliance between the Christians and Muslims and eventually the druze. Its like the American Policy of Equal right and freedoms but the Greater Syrian people mostly paid attention on the freedom of religion. The greater syrians were the first people to put away there differences and help each other and because it was located in the middle east it was seen as a religious Traitors act especially to the Sunni Muslims of Saudi. But the Greater Syrians didnt really pay attention and formed an independent nation call the greater Syria or the Middle eastern Empire of Syria. the alliance was usually between Muslims and Christians but there were other groups like the Persians, Turks, Druze, and Armenians. The greater Syria is todays Modern Syria which borders Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. The Syrians wanted more land so they expanded to what we call today Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine(Or Israel) controlling them completely. Today the Syrians(modern day Syrians) want the land that there ancestors invaded(Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan) so they set up a plan call the greater syria plan which says to form there original nation
The syrian invaded Lebanon in there first attempt to join it back they succeeded for 30 years and then they retreated because of some problems. However, they have been very successful on taking some Israeli land and joining it to theres.
They usually use the people's choice, for example the Muslim Palestine's don't want to be syrians they just want palestine as a free nation but the Palestine Christians want to be syrians and some actually refuse to be called Israeli or Palestine they want to be called Syrians. The same thing for Jordan but Lebanon doesnt want to be part of syria at all.

How is the geography of Syria described?
Geographical regions
The area includes about 185,180 square kilometers of deserts, plains, and mountains. It is divided into a coastal zone--with a narrow, double mountain belt enclosing a depression in the west-- and a much larger eastern plateau. The climate is predominantly dry; about three-fifths of the country has less than 25 centimeters of rain a year. Fertile land is the nation's most important natural resource, and efforts have been made, and in the 1980s were continuing, to increase the amount of arable land through irrigation projects.
Coastal plainAlong the Mediterranean, a narrow coastal plain stretches south from the Turkish border to Lebanon. The flatness of this littoral, covered with sand dunes, is broken only by lateral promontories running down from the mountains to the sea. Syria claims a territorial limit of 35 nautical miles (65 km) off its Mediterranean coastline.Topography of SyriaThe Jabal an Nusayriyah mountains, a range paralleling the coastal plain, has an average elevation of just over 1,212 meters; the highest peak, Nabi Yunis, is about 1,575 meters. The western slopes catch moisture-laden western sea winds and are thus more fertile and more heavily populated than the eastern slopes, which receive only hot, dry winds blowing across the desert. Before reaching the Lebanese border and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, the Jabal an Nusayriyah range terminates, leaving a corridor-the Homs Gap-through which run the highway and railroad from Homs to the Lebanese port of Tripoli. For centuries the Homs Gap has been a favorite trade and invasion route from the coast to the country's interior and to other parts of Asia. Eastward, the line of the Jabal an Nusayriyah is separated from the Jabal AZ Zawiyah range and the plateau region by the Al Ghab depression, a fertile, irrigated trench crossed by the meandering Orontes River.
Inland and farther south, the Anti-Lebanon Mountains rise to peaks of over 2,700 meters on the Syrian-Lebanese frontier and spread in spurs eastward toward the plateau region. The eastern slopes have little rainfall and vegetation and merge eventually with the desert.
In the southwest, the lofty Mount Hermon (Jabal ash Shaykh), also on the border between Syria and Lebanon, descends to the Hawran Plateau-frequently referred to as the Hawran-that receives rain-bearing winds from the Mediterranean. All but the lowest slopes of Mount Hermon are uninhabited, however. Volcanic cones, some of which reach over 900 meters, intersperse the open, rolling, once-fertile Hawran Plateau south of Damascus and east of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. Southwest of the Hawran lies the high volcanic region of the Jabal Druze range (renamed Jabal al Arab), home of the country's Druze population.
Eastern plateauThe entire eastern plateau region is intersected by a low chain of mountains, the Jabal ar Ruwaq, the Jabal Abu Rujmayn, and the Jabal Bishri, extending northeastward from the Jabal Al Arab to the Euphrates River. South of these mountains lies a barren desert region known as the Hamad. North of the Jabal ar Ruwaq and east of the city of Homs is another barren area known as the Homs Desert, which has a hard-packed dirt surface.Northeast of the Euphrates River, which originates in the mountains of Turkey and flows diagonally across Syria into Iraq, is the fertile Djazirah region that is watered by the tributaries of the Euphrates. The area underwent irrigation improvements during the 1960s and 1970s, and it provides substantial cereal and cotton crops. Oil and natural gas discoveries in the extreme northeastern portion of the Jazirah have significantly enhanced the region's economic potential.
