| Abstract: | The earliest civilisations in history were established in the region Th now known as the Middle East. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians and Assyrians all flourished in this region. Under the Roman Empire the region was united as a single political and economic unit. The Persian Empire dominated part of what is now considered as the Middle East and continued to influence the rest of the region until the Islamic conquest of Persia in the seventh century. From this century a new power was rising in the Middle East, that of Islam, whilst the Byzantine (Eastern Roman Empire) and Persian empires were both weakened. The Muslim states controlled the region for a long time. Motivated by religion and dreams of conquest, the kings of Eu- rope launched a number of Crusades in order to roll back Muslim power and reclaim the holy land. The Crusades were unsuccessful in this goal, but they were far more effective in weakening the already tottering Byzantine Empire that began to lose increasing amounts of territory to the Ottomans. The Ottomans conquered the Christian Byzantine capitol of Constantinople in the middle of the fifteenth century (1453). The Mameluks held the Ottomans out of the Middle East for a century, but in 1514 the Ottomans began the systematic conquest of the region. The Ottomans united the whole region under one ruler for the first time since the reign of the Abbasid caliphs of the 10th century, and they kept control of it for 400 years. |
