At the end of WW1, the Ottoman Empire fell and British and French leaders drew new border lines to the Middle East. This mixed up many Ethnic groups and is the cause to many of the ongoing conflicts.
In In the mid 1900s there was lots of Jewish Zionism especially after the Holocaust in WW2. In 1948 the UN officially made the country Israel. There was much anti-anti-semitism in the Arab nations and that very night Arab nations attacked Israel and lost.
Much conflict in the Middle East is over Israel. The Christians, Jews, and Muslims all call Jerusalem there Holy Land, so there is lots of dis agreement in that. Also the mixing of the Ethnic groups. Thinking why US gets in so many Middle East wars? It's alot about the oil. US have been in 3 wars the Persian War and Iraqi, and Afghanistan Invasions. We got involved in the Persian War because Iraq invaded Kuwait for Oil, we invaded Iraq because it was believed that they were storing WMDs , and we invaded Afghanistan because they were aiding Al- Quaeda. |
