Middle East

The Middle East is a large region with many different types of geography in it. One of the most important is the area near rivers, such as the Nile. The land there is fertile, and good for growing crops, which will draw people to it, and begin a civilization. An other important feature is the prominence of oil in the Middle East. Having so much oil gives them power, because other nation rely on them. That as well as the fact that they are in the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe, bring conflict. Another reason there is so much conflict is because three religions originated in there : Islam, Judaism, and from that, Christianity. Throughout history, religion has always been a cause for conflict, and when three religions are all contending for one, very desirable area, conflict is even more guaranteed.
