Abstract: For $ngeq2$ let $Delta$ be a Dynkin diagram of rank $n$ and let $I=1,>\mathrm{...},n$ be the set of labels of $Delta$. A group $G$ admits a weak Phan system of type $Delta$ over $mathbbC$ if $G$ is generated by subgroups $U_i$, $iinI$, which are central quotients of simply connected compact semisimple Lie groups of rank one, and contains subgroups $U_{i,j}=gen{U}_i,U_j$, $ieqjinI$, which are central quotients of simply connected compact semisimple Lie groups of rank two such that $U_i$ and $U_j$ are rank one subgroups of $U_{i,j}$ corresponding to a choice of a maximal torus and a fundamental system of roots for $U_{i,j}$. It is shown in this article that $G$ then is a central quotient of the simply connected compact semisimple Lie group whose complexification is the simply connected complex semisimple Lie group of type $Delta$.
