The Ottoman Empire declined after World War I, leading to the Middle East being divided between Britain and France in the Sykes-Picot Agreement rather than governed by the Ottoman millet system. Arab nationalism grew as the caliph was removed in 1924, while Zionism led to the creation of Israel in 1947 through UN partition of Palestine. France partitioned Syria into provinces and created Lebanon, and Iraq gained independence from Britain in 1930 with Kuwait following in 1961.

Middle Eastern Culture & History
The document provides an overview of key factors in understanding religion, ethnicity, and the history of power dynamics in the Middle East over the 20th century. It touches on the major religious groups of Islam (Sunni and Shia), the decline of the Ottoman Empire after WWI and the establishment of British and French mandates, the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jewish immigration and the creation of Israel in 1948, and major military conflicts like the Six Day War in 1967.
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 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.
Middle East, Part 1
The document summarizes the formation of the modern Middle East from the end of World War 1 through the Cold War period. It discusses how the Ottoman Empire collapsed after World War 1 and the Middle East was divided and placed under British and French control. This led to nationalist unrest as boundaries were drawn without consideration for ethnic groups. Oil discoveries further complicated matters and foreign powers vied for influence. The establishment of Israel in 1948 triggered regional conflicts and tensions that continue today as the Middle East was shaped by superpower politics throughout the Cold War.
Decline Of European Colonial Power And Rise Of Nationalism
The document discusses the rise of militant nationalism and the corrosion of European colonial power from 1914-1939. It summarizes how World War I diminished the European empires' control over their colonies and global influence. The war shifted perceptions in the colonies and increased nationalist sentiment. Several independence movements emerged in places that had been European colonies, like India, Egypt, and Africa.
Conflict Middle East
The document provides background on the historical roots of conflict in the Middle East between Israel and its neighbors. It summarizes the key wars and peace accords over time, including the 1948 Arab-Israeli War of Independence, the 1967 Six Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and peace accords such as the 1979 Camp David Accords and the 1993 Oslo Accords. It notes that the status of Jerusalem and boundaries of a Palestinian state remain divisive issues with no permanent resolution yet.

Conflict over Israel/Palestine has been a long-term issue, and the region has experienced various regime changes and instability in places like Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
The creation of israel 2
The Hebrews originated as nomadic tribes in Canaan around 1800 BCE and considered themselves God's chosen people. They established kingdoms in the region until being conquered by Babylonians in 586 BCE and dispersed. After Persian and Roman rule, Jews established settlements in Palestine but faced persecution. In the late 1800s, Zionism emerged to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. After British and UN involvement, Israel declared independence in 1948, though neighboring Arab states opposed a Jewish state. Subsequent wars and peace agreements have established Israel but conflict over land and a Palestinian state continues.
Palestine & Israel conflict
In the 19th century, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire with a population that was around 4% Jewish, 8% Christian and majority Muslim. There was no conflict between religious communities. In the late 1800s, Jews faced persecution in Europe which led Britain to agree to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917. After Britain gained control of Palestine in 1918, a new wave of Zionist immigration began and tensions rose between immigrants and Palestinians throughout the 1920s and 1930s over control of the land. The Palestinian revolt from 1936-1939 aimed to stop immigration and gain independence but was crushed by Britain, leaving thousands of Palestinians killed or expelled from their villages.
Broader Arab nationalism in the Middle East after WW2 (Jordan)
Jordan was originally part of the Ottoman Empire but gained independence after World War 1 with support from Britain. Jordan played a role in the Arab revolt against the Turks in 1916. It was established as a British mandate in 1921 and became fully independent in 1946. King Abdullah I helped establish Jordan but was assassinated in 1951. His grandson King Hussein then took over leadership and modernized the country while maintaining relations with Western nations.

Arab-Israeli Conflict Summary and Brief History
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has its roots in the late 19th/early 20th century with Jewish immigration to the British mandate of Palestine and the creation of Israel in 1948.

The creation of israel
The document summarizes the historical reasons for the establishment of Israel in 1948. It explains that Palestine was created out of the Ottoman Empire and was under British control after WWI. Many Jews supported Zionism and returning to Palestine as their homeland due to the Holocaust and anti-Semitism in Europe. In 1948, the newly formed UN voted to create the state of Israel in the region of Palestine, despite opposition from the Arab population already living there. This led to war as Arab countries tried to prevent the creation of a Jewish state.
Arab israeli conflict-1
The document summarizes the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict over land in Palestine. In the late 1800s, Jews fleeing persecution in Europe sought to establish a homeland in Palestine, the land they referred to as the "promised land." However, Palestine was already inhabited by Arab Palestinians. Tensions rose after World War I when Britain gained control over Palestine and facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, disregarding the concerns of the native Arab population. After the Holocaust, more Jewish immigrants sought refuge in Palestine, fueling greater conflict over land and national identity. Subsequent wars and peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors have failed to produce a lasting resolution.

Arab Israeli War Of 1948
The 1948 Arab-Israeli War began as the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine and the United Nations proposed partitioning the land into separate Jewish and Arab states. This was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the surrounding Arab countries. On May 15th, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq invaded Israel shortly after its declaration of independence on May 14th. After almost a year of fighting, Israel managed to expand its territory beyond the original UN partition plan. Armistice agreements in 1949 established new borders and a ceasefire, though conflicts continued throughout the 1950s as Palestinian fedayeen launched raids into Israel from refugee camps.

This led Britain to issue the Balfour Declaration in 1917 publicly supporting the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine under British control.
