Description
The Middle East today stands at an epoch. The artificial architecture created by the British and French is tearing apart at the seams and no amount of stitching can keep it together. To understand the present, the past needs to be evaluated. This book examines the actions, intrigues, plots and plans of the past that have shaped the region into its current state. It also explores emerging trends taking shape in the Middle East, which will subsume everything standing in their way. By assessing the region's history and understanding its current situation, this book aims to provide answers to key questions about the future of the Middle East. The book delves into how the Muslim world went from a global power to a complex and dynamic region, and whether the Sykes-Picot agreement was a strategic move or a folly. It also examines the impact of the Arab Spring and what emerging trends mean for the region and beyond.
