The late 19th century was, in many ways, a time of profound change for the Middle East, giving its people hope for a bright future. However, the tragedy of World War I cruelly dashed all these bright hopes and aspirations. The map of the Middle East underwent colossal changes, and the inevitability stemming from the tragic events of the recent past and this grim reality reduced the region's inhabitants to the status of passive hostages of the new conflicts that weighed upon them. A subject of geopolitical disputes after World War I, a theater of ideological struggle between the USSR and the USA, a major hub for continuous oil production, and a staging ground for numerous invasions—for a long time, the history of the Middle East itself was shaped by the forces of global powers. But what lies behind the scenes of this endless theater of military action and political intrigue? Who, and most importantly, why, can no longer sit by as spectators watching the tragedy of their people, but instead decide to take center stage and take up arms? From the Tanzimat period and the aftermath of World War I to the Arab Spring and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this book explores the most pressing issues and complex themes in the Middle East from the 19th to the early 21st centuries.
