Interestingly, "Mein Kampf" is still a best seller in the Middle East. And, the Holocaust, for all his denying it, serves as an inspiration to people like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Additionally, Hitler and the Grand Mufti Haj Amin Al Husseini were strong political allies. The Nazi - Islamist connection was a strong one; and the philosophy remains so in many places.
The map of the middle East,as known today,was shaped by the events of the first world war. The Ottoman Empire ruled a vast territory that included much of the Balkans, Anatolia, The ventral middle east to the borders of iran, and most of North Africa.
The Caucacus Mountains near the Black and Caspian Sea in Europe is the Western boundary line that separates Europe from Asia (or separates the West from the East). South of that line is SOUTHWEST Asia (Turkey, Israel, Jordon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. areas that are mis-named the "middle east"). To the right of this is the real MIDDLE EAST, "Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, etc." To the right of this is SOUTHEAST Asia, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. Britain mis-named the middle east during their colonial days when they considered themselves the center of world power; measuring all colonies from Great Britain. The closest Asian country to England was Turkey; Therefore it was called ASIA MINOR. Today's mis-named "middle east" was between ASIA MINOR and INDIA (Britain's other colony) therefore those nations were called the MIDDLE EAST, because they were in the middle. East means Orient, so the words can be intermingled. Southwest Asia can be called the FAR EAST or FAR ORIENT.
Well, according to my calculations, there was a distinctive rise in nationalism. Khomeini led a revolt against the newly appointed Iran leader, and eventually forced him into exile. Another result of the cold war in the middle east was a start of hatred between the U.S. and the Middle East.
World War II significantly impacted the Middle East by altering geopolitical dynamics and accelerating the decline of colonial powers in the region. The war increased nationalist movements as local populations sought independence from European colonial rule, particularly in places like Egypt and Iraq. Additionally, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, partly a result of wartime developments and the Holocaust, intensified regional conflicts and reshaped the political landscape. The war also highlighted the strategic importance of Middle Eastern oil, leading to greater foreign interest and involvement in the region.
