Syria (Arabic: سوريا Sūriyā or سورية Sūriyah),
officially the Syrian Arab Republic (Arabic: الجمهورية العربية
السورية ), is a country in Southwest Asia, bordering the
Mediterranean Sea and Lebanon to the west, Israel to the southwest,
Jordan to the south, Iraq to the east, and Turkey to the north. The
modern state of Syria was formerly a French mandate and attained
independence in 1946, but can trace its roots to the fourth
millennium BC; its capital city, Damascus, was the seat of the
Umayyad Empire and a provincial capital of the Mamluk Empire.
