The fighting today only dates back to World War 1.The fighting today dates way farther back than just WW1 as the heart of why they are fighting in that reason is going on in the first place has to do with religion, and claim to that land. A conflict that dates thousands of years. WW1 isn't the only reason there's fighting going on there. WW1 wasn't the period they just out of no where, groups just declared specific land to be holy. Also, while Ottoman rule saw some periods of peace, it most definitely was not hearts and rainbows there during Ottoman rule between all 3 religions. The Ottomans just had greater control in the area until WW1 carved it up. We can blame WW1 for destabilizing an already controlled hot zone, but WW1 is by far not the only reason that area of the planet has fighting. If anything we akin it to throwing gasoline on a fire that was formerly being kept under relative control. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
