Middle-East

Description

A two-part program on the history of the Middle East region in the twentieth century. "The fall of the Ottoman Empire, the French and British domination, the two world wars, the birth of Israel, the Suez Crisis, the years of American and Russian imperialism, the Arab-Israeli conflicts and the Palestine issue, are some of the major events which took place before the Gulf War broke out. To all this must be added the exeptional development in oil production and the major role it plays in the world economies." -- Original containers.
