In general, this is called Imperialism or Colonialism. Specifically, there are a variety of political issues that Europeans built into Middle Eastern Politics with the intent of or that directly caused conflicts:
1) Mandates: The European powers instituted a Mandate System which carved up the Middle East into colony like pieces of land that were based primarily on what territories each colonizer wanted and had little regard for the indigenous population.
2) Ethnic Mixing: The European Powers intentionally broke up large ethnic groups to prevent them from rising up against the Colonial Infrastructure and put ethnic groups that despise one another under the same authority in order for each to keep the other in check. While Europe was becoming more nationalist, they were actively trying to prevent this in the Middle East.
3) Foreign Appointments: Many leadership positions (such as the Kingship of Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq) were given as favors to Arab Sheikhs who were foreigners in the lands that they ruled. Their power was a gift from the European Powers and made their authority completely dependent on Europe as opposed to endemic support from the people. Until the Iraqi and Egyptian kings were overthrown, the people in these countries felt that their rulers did not represent their values.

Did European countries cause conflicts with the middle east?
Answer 1Conflicts were started from both sides, mainly due to religious reasons. Europeans were overwhelmingly Christian while Arabs were overwhelmingly Muslim. Palestine, the area where all three major, monotheistic religions arose, has been fought over between all three religions throughout history.Answer 2European countries certainly caused some conflicts in the Middle East, most clearly the Crusades and Colonial Imperialism. However, the majority of conflicts in the Middle East have much less to do with Europe than Middle Easterners would allege; such allegations are usually made to prevent Middle Easterners for having to take responsiblity for their calamitous political state.

Cypus is the only European Union member in the Middle East. All other European Union countries (as could be guessed) are in Europe.
