How does the division of the

Ottoman Empire still impact the

Middle East today?

Page 5: Middle East History Review. What happened to the Ottoman Empire after WWII?

The British and French left Turkey to the Turks, but split up the rest of the area without regard to religions or ethnic groups. Now, ethnic groups like the Kurds are split apart and

want to be one independent nation, and other groups like the Sunni and Shia in Iraq are put together though they don’t get along and fight over

power.

What was the UN partition plan?

Page 21: Middle East History Review. What happened to the Ottoman Empire after WWII?

The UN split the land into two separate homelands – one for the Jews, one for the

Palestinians. This partition plan was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the

Arabs, and on the eve of Israeli independence in 1948, the Arab

neighbors of the newly created Israel attacked it. This land has continued to be

fought over in numerous wars since. Today, both Israeli and Palestinian groups continue to claim the land and attempts at peace have come and gone without

creating a permanent peace.

What was the Persian Gulf conflict of1991?

In the Persian Gulf conflict, 1991: (the first war we fought in Iraq) Iraq’s dictator, Saddam

Hussein, had invaded Kuwait in order to capture its valuable oil fields. The UN voted to send in troops to free Kuwait. Fearing for its own oil

fields, the Saudi king invited UN forces, led by the United States to set up bases in Saudi Arabia to push the Iraqi forces back out of Kuwait, which

we did, though we left Hussein in power.

What was the Invasion of Afghanistan in 2001?

Page 25: Middle East History Review. What happened to the Ottoman Empire after WWII?

Invasion of Iraq, 2003: After the 9/11 attacks, the US government was very worried about threats from middle eastern sources. Looking at Iraq, we feared two things:

that Iraq had ties to al-Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible and that Iraq was building weapons of mass destruction in violation of a UN sanction. As a result, we

invaded the country, overthrew the leader, Saddam Hussein. We found no ties to al-Qaeda or WMDs, but we did free the nation from its dictator. Unfortunately, the

different ethnic and religious groups broke out into violence against each other, resulting in thousands of

deaths, and the violence is still occurring today.
