Diversity Brings Challenges

Europeans drew borders in the Middle East that divided the homelands of some people and

established a new country for the Jews. Kurds—who now live in parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and

Turkey—have been persecuted and would like to have their own country. Jewish people were

encouraged to settle in the former British Palestine, driving away the Palestinians who had lived

there and causing wars and tension in the Middle East.

Conflicts Over Resources and Religion

The oil reserves and regions of the Middle East have played important roles in world affairs.

OPEC Countries have used embargos to further political aims. Islamic extremists have tried to

topple the secular governments of some Middle Eastern nations. In many Islamic countries, the

opportunities for women and girls are limited.

Section 4: The Modern Middle East

Building Nations in the Middle East

Middle Eastern nations have faced challenges since World War II. Nationalist Egyptian leader

Gamal Abdel Nasser led two wars against Israel, while his successor, Anwar Sadat, made peace

and brought the country closer to the U.S. Islamists caused problems for Sadat and for his

successor, Hosni Mubarak.

Building Nations in the Middle East continued

American support of Iran’s Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the shah’s land redistribution

program brought opposition from landowners and the Islamic clergy. Eventually the country

became an anti-Western Islamic republic. Saudi Arabia is ruled by the Sa’ud family who follow

Sunni Islam. The U.S. supports the royal family in return for favorable terms in the oil trade. This

relationship has caused attacks within Saudi Arabia and opposition to the royal family.

Arabs and Israelis Fight Over Land

Since Israel was established in 1948, the country has fought Arab forces and gained and given

back lands belonging to neighboring countries. The PLO has led a struggle to gain homelands for

Palestinians, often using suicide bombers. Progress toward peace has been made since prime

minister Ariel Sharon launched a plan to withdraw Israeli settlements form Gaza and since

Mahmoud Abbas took Yasir Arafat’s place as head of the PLO.

History Interactive: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Civil War Ravages Lebanon

When Muslim Palestinians migrated to Lebanon, the balance of people of different religions was

tipped. Religious tensions erupted into civil war in 1975. Although the war ended in 1990, the

country’s fate seems tied to peace among its neighbors.

Section 3: Conflicts in the Middle East

Iraq’s Long History of Conflict

For centuries, Sunni Arabs held power in Iraq. They repressed the Kurdish minority and the Shiite

Arab majority. Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein had U.S. support in a war with Iran over territory.

When Hussein invaded Kuwait, however, the U.S. and a coalition of other countries sided with

Kuwait and drove Iraq out. They also set up no-fly zones in Iraq to protect the Kurds and Shiites.

Iraq was forbidden to develop weapons of mass destruction, but would not cooperate with

inspectors from the UN. In 2003, U.S.-led coalition forces occupied Iraq and then imprisoned

Hussein. Efforts to rebuild the country have been thwarted by guerilla attacks.

China Reforms Its Economy But Limits Freedom

When Deng Xiaoping took control of China, he allowed some features of a free market

and welcomed foreign capital and technology, which brought growth—especially in

coastal cities. When some Chinese demanded greater political freedom, however,

they were thwarted and even killed when demonstrating in Tiananmen Square.

China Faces Continuing Challenges

Some of the challenges facing China today are its large population, rapid urbanization,

pollution, the spread of AIDS, and human rights abuses such as a lack of free speech

and suppression of Tibet’s Buddhist culture.

India Builds Its Economy

India has used modern technology to expand agriculture and industry. It moved

toward a free-market system in the 1980s, and many industries have expanded

quickly. Population growth continues to hamper success, as have the spread of AIDS

and the rise of the urban poor population.

Reforming Indian Society

Discrimination based on the caste system has been banned in India, but opportunities

are still unequal in education and employment. Women have made progress, but the

lives of girls from poor families remain difficult.
