The United Arab States (1958-1961) was a loose confederation between the United Arab Republic and the Mutawakelite Yemen. The United Arab Republic was itself a union of Egypt and Syria, which acted as a single sovereign state. Despite the their interest in joining with Egypt and Syria, Yemen never gave up its sovereignty and after Syria seceded in 1961, the looser confederation with Yemen was also dissolved.
