Description
The Middle East in Modern World History focuses on the history of this region over the past 200 years. It examines how global trends during this period shaped the Middle East and how these trends were affected by the region's development. Three trends from the past two centuries are highlighted:
- The region as a strategic conduit between East and West
- The development of the region's natural resources, especially oil
- The impact of a rapidly globalizing world economy on the Middle East
