The countries of the Middle East emerged largely from the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, leading to the establishment of new national borders often drawn by colonial powers like Britain and France through treaties such as Sykes-Picot in 1916. This division did not always align with ethnic, tribal, or sectarian lines, resulting in complex socio-political dynamics. Subsequent independence movements in the mid-20th century further shaped the region, often influenced by external powers and internal conflicts. Today, the Middle Eastern nations reflect a blend of historical legacies, cultural identities, and geopolitical interests.
