In ancient times, the Middle East was the birthplace of one of the four great civilizations. But unfortunately, after modern times, it has gradually become a powder keg, and other powerful countries in the world have come here because of oil. Since then, there have been various conflicts and wars here every day. However, in addition to oil, the Middle East has huge geographical interests worth fighting for, because it is the land junction of Europe, Asia and Africa, and the hub of Europe's entry into the Indian Ocean, so it is also a geographical interest for major countries.
Not only the western countries compete with each other, but also the countries in the Middle East are opposed to each other. It's all about interests. As early as the colonial period, the Middle East was ruled by colonial countries. In order to steadily absorb their interests, these colonial countries have been provoking the relationship between local people. Most of the contemporary Middle East issues are left over from the colonial period, which is one of the reasons why Middle Easterners now use excuses to confront each other.
In order to compete for oil in the Middle East, the western countries abruptly turned the four ancient civilizations in the world into a powder keg. Of course, not only oil, but also very sensitive geographical relations, which is one of the reasons why western countries compete for the Middle East.
