(also called the “mid east”)
.
-the middle east is a ‘trans-continental region’ centered on ‘western asia’ + ‘egypt’-
.
(the corresponding adjective is middle-eastern and the derived noun is middle-easterner)
(the term has come into wider usage as a replacement of the term “near east” (as opposed to “far east”) beginning in the early 20th century)
(“arabs”, “azeris”, “kurds”, “persians”, “egyptians” and “turks” constitute the largest ethnic groups in the region by population, while “armenians”, “assyrians”, “circassians”, “coptic christians”, “druze”, “greeks”, “jews”, “maronites”, “somalis”, and other ethnic and ethno-religious groups form significant minorities)
(the history of the “middle east” dates back to ancient times, with the (geo-political) importance of the region being recognized for millennia)
(several major religions have their origins in the “middle east”, including “judaism”, “christianity”, and “islam”; the “baha’i faith”, “mandaeism”, “unitarian druze”, and numerous other belief systems were also established within the region)
(the “middle east” generally has a hot, arid climate, with several major rivers providing irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas such as the “nile delta” in “egypt”, the “tigris” and “euphrates” watersheds of “mesopotamia”, and most of what is known as the “fertile crescent”)
(most of the countries that border the “persian gulf” have vast reserves of crude oil, with the dictatorships of the “arabian peninsula” in particular benefiting from ‘petroleum exports’)
