The Mediterranean and Persia in the Age of Imperialism

To begin with, the history of the Mediterranean region and Persia since the 19th century is highlighted during the imperialist era. At that time, major powers such as Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia interfered and fierce struggles were waged to seek the interests of each country. As a result, the Mediterranean region and Persia were unstable and in constant turmoil.

In particular, the Ottoman Empire faced confrontation with Muslim states and fell into an unstable state. Additionally, in the latter half of the 19th century, it declined and lost many territories until the First World War. After the First World War, new borders were drawn and countries were born.

Because of the abundant oil resources, the influence of Europe increased in the Mediterranean region and Persia, leading to conflicts such as Arab uprisings and the Palestine issue. In the latter half of the 20th century, the Mediterranean region and Persia during the Cold War were also highlighted, and Islamic religion and Islamism emerged. And, events such as the Arab Spring and the Iran nuclear agreement that affect the modern world have occurred.

By understanding these historical backgrounds, you can understand the current state of the Mediterranean region and Persia, as well as the trends in the world.

In the latter half of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire had a vast territory. However, due to economic problems, military defeats, and domestic political turmoil, the empire gradually declined. This decline was accelerated by the increase of external powers in the empire’s regions. The imperialistic expansion of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria-Hungary caused the Ottoman Empire to face a serious crisis.

Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, when World War I broke out, the Ottoman Empire became involved in the conflict. This war was a fatal event for the Ottoman Empire. The empire’s finances collapsed, and its military power declined. In addition, many people lost their lives due to the war, and social and political instability became more serious.

After World War I, the Ottoman Empire was divided by new borders and Turkey was born as a republic. This Turkish Republic broke away from the traditions of the Ottoman Empire and established its position as a modern nation by promoting westernisation. However, many national and religious issues arose during the process of building the Turkish Republic, which led to the instability of the Middle East after the war.

The Mediterranean Region and Persia After World War I

New national borders were drawn and states emerged in the Mediterranean and Persian regions after World War I. However, this caused internal debt and resentment in the region. In addition, as oil was discovered and exported, there were disputes arising from issues of nationality and unequal distribution of resources.

Furthermore, the influence of Europe spread to the region, and Arab world rebellions occurred. The Palestine issue caused conflict with the founding of Israel and remains an unresolved issue to this day.

It goes without saying that nation-building and external intervention inside the region had a significant impact on the area throughout these events. Until the present day, the history of this region continues to have a major impact on the world’s political situation.

From the second half of the 20th century to the 21st century

Understanding the history of the Mediterranean and Persian regions in modern times is very important, starting from the late 20th century to the 21st century. During this period, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union had a significant impact on the Mediterranean and Persian regions under the Cold War.

During this time, the US supported modern secular governments, while the Soviet Union supported rebellions and revolutions. The US also provided military support to Iran during the Cold War and supported Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. This led to an increase in political influence of Islamism and Islamic teachings in Iran.

The Iranian Revolution had a significant impact on the Arab world, with the rise of Islamism and its spread to Arab countries. Until the Arab Spring of 2011, political turmoil continued in the Arab world.

Meanwhile, in Iran, the Ahmadinejad administration came to power in 2005 and began developing nuclear weapons. However, international pressure on Iran’s nuclear development increased, and economic sanctions such as the Dollar sanction were imposed. In 2015, the Iranian nuclear agreement was signed, and sanctions were eased.

Thus, the history of the Mediterranean and Persian regions from the late 20th century to the 21st century contained many issues. This region experienced violent political and economic changes leading to the revolutions in the Arab world and Iran’s nuclear development. Further research will be necessary for the future development and stability of this region.

Conclusion

Looking back at the history of the Mediterranean and Persia, many turning points have been experienced from the imperialist era to the First World War and to the present day. New borders and states have emerged, and there has been an economic impact from oil. The Mediterranean and Persia have also been involved in various events that lead the world, such as the effects of the Cold War, Islam and Islamism, the Arab Spring and the Iran nuclear deal.

Currently, the Mediterranean and Persia are facing various problems in the world. They range from international political issues to regional conflicts, criticism of Hitler, and social issues. More research is necessary to deepen our understanding of these issues.

The history of the Mediterranean and Persia is increasingly attracting attention due to the wide range and importance of their influence in modern times. By learning about the history of this region, we can deepen our understanding of the world’s diverse cultures and ways of thinking.
