Flag of the Arab Federation
In 1958, in response to the merger of Egypt and Syria in the United Arab Republic, the two Hashemite kingdoms of Iraq and Jordan established the Arab Federation, a confederation of the two states. According to the 7th article of the Federation convention, the Arab revolt flag was to be the official flag of the Union. The union lasted less than six months, being terminated by the Iraqi Revolution of 1958 in July.
