This question fails to specify the source claiming that there are only eight ethnicities in the Middle East and there are currently hundreds of ethno-religious groups in the Middle East. Furthermore, there is no timeframe on this question, and ethnic changes in the Middle East are quite significant over time.

All-withstanding, the current most populous and famous ethnicities in the Middle East are:

1) Civilized Sunni Arabs (This is to say the Arabs who are Sunni Moslems and live in a relatively urban environment.)

2) Turks (This refers to the ethnicity of Turkey as opposed to the Turks meaning all similar people of that general ethnic group.)

3) Persians (This refers to the dominant ethnic group in Iran.)

4) Civilized Shiite Arabs (This is to say the Arabs who are Shiite Moslems and live in a relatively urban environment.)

5) Bedouins (This refers to the nomadic desert-Arabs that populate the Middle East)

6) Israeli Jews (This refers to the dominant ethno-religious group in the State of Israel.)

7) Egyptian Copts (This refers to the largest group of Egyptian Christianity.)

8) South Asians (This refers to the large immigrant worker population in the Gulf States that comes from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.)

How did Increasing feelings of nationalism among many groups led to what consequence after world war 1?

Increasing feelings of nationalism among various ethnic and cultural groups after World War I led to a rise in demands for self-determination and independence, particularly in regions of Europe and the Middle East. This surge in nationalist sentiments contributed to the disintegration of empires, such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires, and resulted in the redrawing of national boundaries. The resulting tensions and conflicts among different national groups often sparked violent confrontations and laid the groundwork for future geopolitical instability, including World War II.

Why were borders changed in Europe and the Middle East after World War 1 and what was a lasting impact of those changes?

After World War I, borders in Europe and the Middle East were redrawn primarily due to the collapse of empires, such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, and the desire of victorious powers to reshape territories based on national self-determination and strategic interests. The Treaty of Versailles and other agreements created new nations and altered existing borders, often disregarding ethnic and cultural divisions. A lasting impact of these changes has been ongoing ethnic tensions, conflicts, and nationalist movements, particularly in regions like the Balkans and the Middle East, where arbitrary borders have contributed to instability and violence.
