US Intervention in the Middle East

For centuries, conflict has occurred in the Middle East. Along with the spread of oil, countries that had been powerless before became economic powers. But as Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "All the powerful forces bring huge responsibility in each country, including maintenance of oilfields, management of diplomacy, and militant control. Since the Iran-Iraq war of Iraq, Iraq has gained worldwide attention due to the domestic financial crisis.

In the 1980s, American assistance to the anti-Soviet Jihadist organization in Afghanistan helped lay the foundation of Osama bin Laden's jihadist al-Qaeda. In the 1990s, the US intervention in the Middle East became more intense, jihadists turned to earlier sponsors and began war on terrorism in the west, resulting in an attack on September 11, 2001 . The anger caused by these attacks obscured this. The massive war in the Middle East, centering on the United States, is furious until today. In the long-term war, the number of jihadists and potential terrorists doubles only by the entire region becoming confused and massacre. As a result, the Western civilians continued to be subjected to terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, Orlando, Paris, and Brussels. These attacks fueled Islamic phobia and caused calls for further violence and oppression by Muslims.

Unfortunately, when examining the relationship between the United States and the Middle East, the Middle East can not think entirely as a whole. Since the end of colonialism in the 1950s and 1960s, the Middle East has been divided into various countries, resources, history, and tasks. As a result, an area with very complex internal relations, interstate relations, and international relations was born. These relationships and their long history play an essential role in policy planning. Therefore, background information on each country is necessary to understand the US diplomacy in the Middle East. Before introducing US policy, this article briefly introduces the basic characteristics and history of the country which is most relevant to the discussion of US foreign policy.
