How has oil production affected some countries in southwest Asia?

Oil was first discovered in Southwest Asia in 1908. Since then, oil fields in many regions of Southwest Asia have been found, and other countries rely heavily on Southwest Asia for oil to meet the demands of their economies: transportation requires gasoline (which is oil in a refined form) and power plants burn oil to produce electricity. Specifically, the United States, Japan, and many European countries heavily depend on Southwest Asia for oil because it is home to such vast amounts of petroleum. So, Southwest Asia's oil fields are important to many countries' economies, and thus the world economy, making Southwest Asia very important in terms of world position.

How did the discovery of the New World influence population growth in Europe and Asia and Africa?

At first it didn't. Spanish colonies tended to be men seeking advancement and the women stayed behind, and so they didn't have families in Europe for the most part. The lucky few who struck it rich and went home did of course. The big event in Spain in 1492 was the final defeat of the caliphate of Cordoba, and the end of a generation of war. This would be a better explanation for subsequent population increases than the early colonial efforts in the new world. At the time several plagues were believed to have been brought back from the new world, including syphilis. Much later the population was limited by periodic famine (starvation events) and adoption of the potato as a staple crop increased the available food supply, and the population. The potato was not widely cultivated in Europe until the 1700s.
