Southwest Asia is a subregion of the Asian continent that includes Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Bahrain, Cyprus, Georgia, among other countries. Much of Southwest Asia has been referred to as the Middle East, although in global organizations the term is seen as European-centric (since this area is east of Europe) and has fallen out of use.
This area is where Judaism, Christianity and Islam all started, as well as being host to many ancient cultures that contributed greatly to the foundation of modern countries, cultures and languages.
