Diversity Brings Challenges
Europeans drew borders in the Middle East that divided the homelands of some people and
established a new country for the Jews. Kurds—who now live in parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and
Turkey—have been persecuted and would like to have their own country. Jewish people were
encouraged to settle in the former British Palestine, driving away the Palestinians who had lived
there and causing wars and tension in the Middle East.

Section 4: The Modern Middle East
Conflicts Over Resources and Religion
The oil reserves and regions of the Middle East have played important roles in world affairs.
OPEC Countries have used embargos to further political aims. Islamic extremists have tried to
topple the secular governments of some Middle Eastern nations. In many Islamic countries, the
opportunities for women and girls are limited.
Building Nations in the Middle East
Middle Eastern nations have faced challenges since World War II. Nationalist Egyptian leader
Gamal Abdel Nasser led two wars against Israel, while his successor, Anwar Sadat, made peace
and brought the country closer to the U.S. Islamists caused problems for Sadat and for his
successor, Hosni Mubarak.
Section 4: The Modern Middle East
Building Nations in the Middle East continued
American support of Iran’s Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the shah’s land redistribution
program brought opposition from landowners and the Islamic clergy. Eventually the country
became an anti-Western Islamic republic. Saudi Arabia is ruled by the Sa’ud family who follow
Sunni Islam. The U.S. supports the royal family in return for favorable terms in the oil trade. This
relationship has caused attacks within Saudi Arabia and opposition to the royal family.

Regional Conflicts
Section 3: Conflicts in the Middle East, pp. 1054-1059
Witness History Audio: Two Peoples Claim the Same Land
Arabs and Israelis Fight Over Land
Since Israel was established in 1948, the country has fought Arab forces and gained and given
back lands belonging to neighboring countries. The PLO has led a struggle to gain homelands for
Palestinians, often using suicide bombers. Progress toward peace has been made since prime
minister Ariel Sharon launched a plan to withdraw Israeli settlements form Gaza and since
Mahmoud Abbas took Yasir Arafat’s place as head of the PLO.

Section 3: Conflicts in the Middle East
Civil War Ravages Lebanon
When Muslim Palestinians migrated to Lebanon, the balance of people of different religions was
tipped. Religious tensions erupted into civil war in 1975. Although the war ended in 1990, the
country’s fate seems tied to peace among its neighbors.
Iraq’s Long History of Conflict
For centuries, Sunni Arabs held power in Iraq. They repressed the Kurdish minority and the Shiite
Arab majority. Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein had U.S. support in a war with Iran over territory.
When Hussein invaded Kuwait, however, the U.S. and a coalition of other countries sided with
Kuwait and drove Iraq out. They also set up no-fly zones in Iraq to protect the Kurds and Shiites.
Iraq was forbidden to develop weapons of mass destruction, but would not cooperate with
inspectors from the UN. In 2003, U.S.-led coalition forces occupied Iraq and then imprisoned
Hussein. Efforts to rebuild the country have been thwarted by guerilla attacks.

The Developing World

Witness History Audio: A Violent Crackdown
China Reforms Its Economy But Limits Freedom
When Deng Xiaoping took control of China, he allowed some features of a free market
and welcomed foreign capital and technology, which brought growth—especially in
coastal cities. When some Chinese demanded greater political freedom, however,
they were thwarted and even killed when demonstrating in Tiananmen Square.

Section 3: China and India: Two Giants of Asia
China Faces Continuing Challenges
Some of the challenges facing China today are its large population, rapid
urbanization, pollution, the spread of AIDS, and human rights abuses such as a lack
of free speech and suppression of Tibet’s Buddhist culture.
India Builds Its Economy
India has used modern technology to expand agriculture and industry. It moved
toward a free-market system in the 1980s, and many industries have expanded
quickly. Population growth continues to hamper success, as have the spread of AIDS
and the rise of the urban poor population.

Reforming Indian Society
Discrimination based on the caste system has been banned in India, but opportunities
are still unequal in education and employment. Women have made progress, but the
lives of girls from poor families remain difficult.
