1963 Ba'athist military coup in Syria

The 1963 Syrian coup d'état, labelled in Ba'athist historiography as the March 8 Revolution, was the seizure of power in Syria by the military committee of the Syrian Regional Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party. The planning and the unfolding conspiracy of the Syrian Ba'athist operatives were prompted by the Ba'ath party's seizure of power in Iraq in February 1963.
