The Middle East has
always had a bit of
controversy, as some
nations are involved in
international
organizations, peace
treaties, and international
agreements, while there
are other nations that are
enclosed and are known
for their extreme views
and beliefs.
Another reason for the
world’s focus on the Middle
East is that its land is rich with
oil. The abundance of oil in
the area has caused a lot of
con icts, as some countries
fought to have full control
over it, and others sold the oil
and made a living from its
trade without con icts with
other nations.
