The Middle East has been the center of more than 20 major conflicts from the Persian-Greek Wars to the Crusades to the Iran-Iraq War. After World War I, the decline and dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire marked the beginning of a new stage of conflict over territory centering around the lands of Palestine.
While today about 92% of the population (292 million people) are Muslims, the Middle East is the geographic and emotional center of three of the world’s great religions: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
