The area around the eastern Mediterranean; from Turkey to northern Africa and eastward to Iran; the site of such ancient civilizations as Phoenicia and Babylon and Egypt and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity and Islam; had continuous economic and political turmoil in the 20th century.
The Middle East is closer to Europe than is the Far East. While parts of it may sometimes be called East Asia, some countries in northeast Africa are also considered to be in the Middle East.
While the existence of Israel and the American army invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have been responsible for some conflict in the Middle East, they are not the root cause of the conflicts in the Middle East. Arabs have a strongly developed nationalistic sensibility while at the same time giving great loyalty to regional and tribal authorities. In addition, there are swathes of the region that make American Tea Partiers look liberal and other parts that are radically socialist. Finally, there are the religious and the secular divides across the Middle East. Unlike the United States which sees public debates and elections as a fair mechanism for deciding which opinions should get the Right of Way, many in the Middle East prefer to staunchly advocate their position by whatever means are necessary because they are assured of their correctness (either by God or personal conviction). This has resulted in extremism vis à vis Israel/Palestine, within the Arab States (such as Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, etc.), Israel/Iran, Iran/Saudi Arabia, Iraq/Kuwait, Iran/Iraq, and many other combinations.
Currently, the largest war in the Middle East is Syrian Civil War, followed by the Iraqi Insurgency.
