Where is the middle south middle west and middle north?
This question fails to take into account the origin of the term "Middle East". As the Europeans were interested in trading with East Asia (also called the "Far East") and India, they labeled the region in between them and that area the "Middle East" as it was between the West (Europe) and the Far East. As Europeans were never concerned anywhere near as concerned with further westward, northward, or southward travel, there was never any desire or intent to name any regions as "Middle West", "Middle North", and "Middle South". It is curious to note, however, that as Americans moved further west, they began to call what were formerly the Northwest Territories the "Midwest" in recognition of the fact that it was in the middle of the East Coast and the Pacific Northwest.
Why do you refer to the lands around the southeastern and eastern shore of the mediterranean sea as the middle east or the near east?
According to an article in Foreign Affairs (Davison, 1960) the term Middle East was popularized by an American naval officer named Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1902, but it might have been used by the British during their years of colonialism in the region. China and Japan for example were considered to be the Far East so the region between the Far East and The West then became the Near East or the Middle East. Although at times in history the Near East denoted the Balkans, it now generally means the Middle East plus Turkey and Iran. The terms Middle East and Near East are eurocentric because they describe a region in relation to Europe or The West. Despite this, the term is now accepted and even people in the Middle East call it that (Al-Sharq Al-Awasat means Middle East in Arabic). The issue of why the Middle East is called the Middle East is an interesting example how simple geographic names are emeshed in geopolitics and can shift in meaning over time.For a more detailed history read: Roderic H. Davison, "Where is the Middle East?" Foreign Affairs, Vol. 38, p. 665 -675. July 1960
