Middle East Wars

The Middle East has been the epicenter of numerous conflicts throughout history, shaping not only the region itself but the global geopolitical landscape. From ancient times to the present day, the region has witnessed a series of wars that were influenced by territorial disputes, religious tensions, colonial legacies, and international interventions.

These wars have had profound impacts on the social, economic, and political dynamics of the region and have often drawn the involvement of foreign powers.
