The factors that led to the growth of the pan-Arabism movement include:

1. **Increase of nationalism** - The rise of nationalist sentiments in various Arab countries contributed to the desire for unity among Arab peoples.

2. **Founding of a unified Arab state** - Although a fully unified Arab state hasn't been realized, the aspiration for such unity was a significant driving force behind pan-Arabism.

3. **Creation of the Arab League** - The formation of the Arab League in 1945 fostered cooperation among Arab states and promoted the ideals of pan-Arabism.

4. **Growth of Western influence** - The presence of Western powers in the Arab world, particularly during and after colonialism, fueled a desire for solidarity and unity among Arab nations as a response to perceived Western hegemony.

The **rise in Islamic political unity** is generally more aligned with Islamic movements rather than pan-Arabism specifically, which emphasizes Arab identity and unity over religious factors. Therefore, while it may have some overlap, it is not a primary factor in the growth of pan-Arabism itself.
