The pairty is ane o the twa pairties (wi identical names) that emergit oot the 1966 split in the oreeginal Ba'ath Pairty.

In 1966 the oreeginal Ba'ath Pairty wis split in hauf; the ane hauf led by the Damascus leadership o the Ba'ath Pairty which established a pairty in Sirie, the ither hauf led bi leadership in Baghdad. Baith Ba'ath pairties retained the same name an maintained parallel structurs in the Arab Warld, but became so antagonistic that the Sirie Ba'ath regime became the anerlie Arab govrenment tae support Iran against Iraq durin the bloody Iran–Iraq War.
