On Pg 71A (one for each of you): –What are some main causes of conflicts between groups of people. Make a list: Title: Conflict in the Middle East

In the early 20 th century, European powers took over the lands of the Middle East that had once been ruled by the mighty Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire had ruled this land for hundreds of years with a peaceful multicultural society, but the Ottomans were not industrialized. Europeans believed, like many Americans today, that they could do a better job of organizing the Middle East than the Ottomans had. They set about a plan of Nation Building to create new nations out of the religious and ethnic groups in the area. One area in particular- known as Israel or Palestine is the one we will look at together more closely.

Reading on the main Issues of the Arab/Israeli Conflict As we read, list the main issues on pg. 71A of your notebook. Define each issue as we go. You already have your own ideas about what goes in this list on your paper from earlier.

Chapter 18, Sec. 4 is on the creation of the Nation of Israel. This is one of the countries (like Lebanon and Syria) that Europeans created out of the territories in the Middle East they claimed during Imperialism. However, the creation of Israel caused a huge conflict in the Middle East for many complex reasons that we will try to untangle. This conflict is so intense, it is still going on today even though many countries have tried to get involved to solve it. It is known as the Arab/Israeli Conflict or the Palestinian Apartheid depending on who you talk to. Those names alone show how charged this issue is.
