Modern Geo of The Middle East
The countries from the Middle East region that were discussed today and produce oil are:
- Saudi Arabia
- Iraq
- Iran
Middle east ottoman empire
The Ottoman Empire began in 1299 in Turkey and lasted over 600 years, becoming one of the largest and most powerful empires in history. It grew rapidly by conquering neighboring lands and allowing conquered peoples to maintain their own cultures and religions as long as they paid taxes. The empire reached its peak under Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, controlling territory from Hungary to the Persian Gulf. However, it began declining after his death, and was weakened by nationalism and debt, culminating in its defeat in World War I when the Ottoman lands were divided among Allied powers.
Ancient History
The ancient civilizations of Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians established colonies in Spain around 2000 BC to develop trade and utilize natural resources. The Romans then began conquering the Iberian Peninsula in 218 BC and completed control by 19 BC, leaving a lasting legacy in law, language, and religion. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the Visigoths took control of Hispania and established the Visigothic Kingdom, ruling until 711 AD from their capital in Toledo.

Modern middle east with Dr. Chris Lee
This document provides an overview of major historical events and influences that have shaped the modern Middle East, including the involvement of American missionaries, the Balfour Declaration, the fall of the Ottoman Empire, World War I and the Armenian Genocide, British influence in Iraq, the Cold War, the creation of Israel, the Suez Crisis, and the long history of the region. It also introduces the instructor for the course, Chris Lee, who has a PhD in history and experience with the military and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
Shakespeare's quotes
This document contains 9 short quotes from various Shakespeare plays, including Hamlet, As You Like It, Macbeth, and King Lear. The quotes discuss themes of perception, brevity, unkindness spoiling gifts, sorrows coming in battalions not single spies, looking at happiness through another's eyes, the fool thinking they are wise but the wise knowing they are a fool, perfume not sweetening a hand, an unthankful child's tooth being sharper than a serpent's, and men of few words being the best men.
The modern middle east
The document discusses the history of the modern Middle East, including the establishment of the Mandate system after World War I where Britain and France administered former Ottoman territories, the creation of Israel as a Jewish state in 1948 which led to ongoing Arab-Israeli conflicts, and key events like the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War. It also profiles important leaders on both sides, like Golda Meir of Israel and Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt.
Modern Middle East
The document provides an introduction to the Middle East, including its geography, population, languages, religions, and famous landmarks. Some key facts are:
- The Middle East spans Asia, Africa and Europe and includes around 27 countries.
- The two main languages are Arabic and Hebrew, with Arabic spoken by about 22 countries.
- The most populated country is Iran and the largest is Saudi Arabia.
- Famous landmarks include the pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt.
Middle East Ww1
The document summarizes the formation of the modern Middle East after World War 1 and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The British and French divided up the former Ottoman lands with little regard for ethnic and religious groups, creating problems that still exist today. Oil discoveries led Western powers to vie for influence in the region. The creation of Israel in 1948 further inflamed tensions and conflicts. The Cold War saw the US and USSR backing different sides, and nationalist and religious movements challenged pro-Western governments across the Middle East.
Modern middle east conflicts
The document summarizes the Palestine-Israel conflict. It discusses how Zionist groups colonized the land of Palestine in the late 1800s, sparking tensions as more Jewish immigrants arrived. In 1947, the UN partitioned Palestine despite Palestinians owning most of the land, fueling war between Zionist and Arab forces. By the end of the war, Israel had captured 78% of Palestine and over 500 Palestinian towns were destroyed, creating over 750,000 Palestinian refugees.
Ancient World History
The document provides an overview of world history from prehistoric times to the American Revolution. It covers the development of early civilizations like the Olmecs and Mesopotamia, ancient religions including Hinduism and Shinto, the rise and fall of empires like Rome and the Inca, the major religious reforms of Christianity with figures like Martin Luther, and concludes with a brief discussion of the American Revolution. Key events, people, and terms are defined through questions and vocabulary terms.
Creating the modern middle east gt
This document outlines learning objectives and activities for students to understand the roots of conflicts in the Middle East. It discusses how the region has been shaped by colonial rule, religious differences, and competition over natural resources. Students will learn about the history of empires like the Ottomans in the region and how the Sykes-Picot agreement led Britain and France to arbitrarily divide the Middle East after World War 1. In activities, students will create hypothetical new countries based on factors like resources, ethnicity, languages, and religions to understand the challenges of boundary formation.
History of turkey
The document provides a history of Turkey from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses the various empires and groups that ruled Anatolia, including the Hittites, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans. It then focuses on the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who introduced sweeping political, social, economic, and cultural reforms to modernize the new nation.
Middle East Since WWI
The document discusses the history of the modern Middle East from World War 1 to present day. It covers how the Ottoman Empire collapsed after World War 1 and the region came under the control of Britain and France through the mandate system. This led to the establishment of new states but also tensions as the promises of independence were not fully realized. The creation of Israel in 1948 and conflicts over Palestinian rights has been an ongoing issue in the region. Other countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Turkey experienced regime changes and tensions between secular and religious forces over time.
Middle East Nationalism
The document summarizes the political and social events that led to the rise of nationalism in the Middle East. It describes how the decline and fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I left a power vacuum that was filled by British and French occupation. This foreign control sowed the seeds for Arab nationalism and unity. At the same time, leaders like Mustafa Kemal in Turkey and Reza Khan in Iran modernized their countries while preserving their independence from Western powers, serving as an inspiration for nationalism across the region. The document also discusses the conflict that arose in Palestine over Jewish immigration and the creation of a Jewish state.
Middle East Conflict
The Arab-Israeli conflict began in the late 19th century with the rise of Zionism and calls for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Tensions escalated after Britain assumed control of Palestine and issued the Balfour Declaration supporting a Jewish state. After the UN partition plan in 1947, war broke out as Arab states opposed the creation of Israel. The conflict has since involved multiple wars, uprisings, and diplomatic efforts towards a two-state solution, but the issues of settlements, Jerusalem status, and Palestinian refugees remain unresolved. Violence and terrorism on both sides continue to undermine peace negotiations.
A walk through history
The document provides an overview of history from prehistory to the contemporary age. It describes how early humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers in prehistoric times. It then outlines the major civilizations that influenced the Iberian Peninsula, including the Greeks, Phoenicians, and Romans in ancient history. The document discusses the Middle Ages in Europe and the rise of feudalism. It also summarizes the modern age marked by discoveries like America and the industrial revolution in more recent contemporary times dealing with modern issues like wealth disparity and environmental concerns.
Israel palestine conflict
This presentation attempts to explain the Israel-Palestine issue in the simplest possible terms: a brief attempt to understand this intricate topic.
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing dispute over border security, water rights, control of Jerusalem, land rights, and refugee legalities. The roots of the conflict lie in the history of the region but the modern conflict stems from the 20th century as Palestine and Israel have come under the influence of various powers. Though peace negotiations have occurred, radical elements on both sides have hindered lasting agreement between Jews and Palestinians.
Israel Palestine Conflict & History
'Israel-Palestine Conflict' is an ongoing conflict since the mid-20th century which has still not attained any settlement between the parties involved, it is also the conflict which has attracted lots of public opinions around the world with celebrities taking sides, public protesting around the world showing their support, foreign governments sending aids and condolences for the losses suffered, while the U.N and U.S trying to broker peace agreement between the masses which has seemed to fail each and every time! So I would like to highlight this never-ending conflict and come up with a resolution to this problem through this presentation.

Kemetic Roots of Library and Information Science, by Itibari M. Zulu
This document discusses the Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) roots of library and information science. It argues that contrary to traditional histories taught in Western library schools, libraries originated in ancient African societies like Kemet. Kemet had developed an advanced system for collecting, organizing, describing, preserving, and providing access to information thousands of years before Greece. This included a class of professionals to operate the system, making Kemet the birthplace of librarianship. The document provides historical context on ancient Kemet and evidence that the ancient Egyptians were an African people, before outlining aspects of literature, education, classification, and information storage in ancient Kemetic society that demonstrate it was the origin of the modern library institution.

This document is a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of a degree from University College London. It examines the process of constructing a diasporic identity for the St. Mark Coptic Orthodox community in London. The author conducted a literature review of publications about Copts to understand an official Coptic identity. She also did ethnographic fieldwork at St. Mark church to understand members' personal accounts. By comparing these datasets, she aims to show how the community engages with Egypt's Pharaonic past and how their identity has adapted in London. The dissertation will analyze themes that emerged from interviews to understand the mimetic process through which St. Mark Copts replicated an Egyptian identity in their new context.

The campaign was a major success due to extensive cooperation between Egypt, Sudan, UNESCO and other countries and organizations. It resulted in one of the largest archaeological rescue efforts in history and the preservation of important cultural heritage sites.

Lord John Abercromby was a Scottish antiquary known for his 1904 use of the term "beaker" to describe decorated Bronze Age pottery found across Europe. While his explanation that these represented migrating people groups has been disproven, his typological analysis remained influential. He endowed the Abercromby Chair of Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. The Abu Simbel temples in Egypt, featuring sculptures of Ramses II and Nefertari, were threatened by rising waters from the Aswan Dam but were saved through an international project to dismantle and reassemble them above the new water line.

The Institute of Egypt was founded in late August 1798 in Cairo by order of Napoleon, with Gaspard Monge as president. It was modeled after the French Institut de France and had the goals of advancing knowledge in Egypt, studying the country's industries, history, and natural phenomena, and advising the French government. The Institute housed collections and laboratories for its scholar members to conduct research. It ceased to exist when the French departed Egypt in 1801, but the scholars' work was later compiled in the extensive Description de l'Egypte published between 1809 and 1828.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
