Historically, European treaties were used to legitimate the occupation of the Middle East or divide it between each other. As a result, these treaties have resulted in odd borders that do not reflect the ethnic differences throughout the Middle East.

Is the European Union in the Middle East?
Cypus is the only European Union member in the Middle East. All other European Union countries (as could be guessed) are in Europe. Turkey is a Middle Eastern country that has tried to accede to the European Union, but has not had its accession accepted. To read more about that read the Related Question. The European Union is very active politically in the Middle East, often serving as a bloc to negotiate against different Middle Eastern countries and therefore make negotiations more favorable in the Middle East.
By what means did europeans get leaders in the middle east to sign treaties?
It depends on the treaty. Some treaties were mutually beneficial agreements and the inducements in the treaty itself (such as an alliance between France and the Ottoman Empire, or trade between the Seljuks and Venice) were enough to compel to the Middle Eastern leader in question to sign. Some treaties were the result of wars and those would be signed as a result of the way the various battles had gone. For example, after the Battle of Mohacs and several other battles, Hungary was forced to sign a treaty surrendering to the Ottomans. When the Ottoman Empire lost the Wars of Greek Reunification, they were forced by those battle conditions to sign treaties surrendering land to the Greeks. Some treaties were to allow imperialist European powers to create colonies, mandates, or protectorates in the Middle East. Sometimes a brilliant show of force or a strong threat would be enough. Sometimes the fear of a worse offer or protecting a state from a local adversary would compel signage. Bottom line, it depends on the treaty.

Why was the middle east the cockpit of European rivalries after world war ll?
Answer 1There is no major view that holds that Middle East was the cockpit of European rivalries after World War II. While there was certainly violence in the Middle East and some of it was an extension of British and French Imperial aims, most of the violence in the Middle East was between endemic Middle Easterners and their countries as opposed to foreign powers. (The Restoration of the Shah of Iran in 1953 and the Suez Crisis of 1956 are some examples of British and French Imperial Aims in the Middle East.) The United States and Soviet Union fought proxy wars through the Middle East conflict, but neither country is considered a typically "European" power. Western European powers after World War II engaged in a huge rapprochement, leading to NATO and the European Union.The Middle East was a cockpit of European rivalries, however, after World War I. The British and French took strategic territories in the Middle East to acquire oil or desirable ports. Each power supported local groups that could further cement its "right to control" the area. However, Africa was always more violent during the colonial period than the Middle East during the Mandatory Period and may have been a better "cockpit of European Rivalries".Answer 2Oil
