Middle+East

1) Middle East Map
I choose this as my middle east simply from what my knowledge of some countries are that exist in it. I know from news stories and reports of some nations in the middle east and from those countries I knew I took a guessed assumption of the area I thought was the exact area. I'm not positive but I',m, sure I have a good portion of it that is the middle east. It's also in the middle of Asia, Europe and Africa, and it's towards the east *From world history and politics"

2)Identity Map Middle East


What I got wrong was that I said that the middle east shared the Arabic language and that they were Islamic, For the most part this is true however there are exceptions to this rule, in that the entire Middle East isn't Arabic. Parts of it are, however other parts are not. The three most common languages fund are Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian. The three religions were also born here and for that reasons states such as Israel are not Islamic, but Jewish. I did get right the fact that oil is an important content found in the Middle east, as well as the fact that it is surrounded/includes three contents being Europe,Asia, and Africa. Over all I think I just got some parts wrong because of very little lack of knowledge as to what the middle east actually is. ==
