World maps were common in the Middle Ages, though they were never very accurate. The more accurate maps of the time called portolans were not maps of the known world, as far as I know.

World maps of earlier times were also not uncommon, but were no better. There is a link to a world map of Posidonius, dating to 130-150 BC, below.

The outcome of World War I had a dramatic effect on the course of Middle East history primarily because it replaced Ottoman control with British and French occupation. Subsequently, independence of diverse Arabic states was achieved and then, most significantly, the nation of Israel was created.
