SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This work attempts to explain why the Middle East is a major focus for international conflict, by looking at the period from 1914, when the Ottoman Empire was defeated and its provinces taken over by Britain and France, until 1958 when the Iraqi revolution finally ended British influence on the area.
