Content
This unit introduces the Middle East and North Africa region to students by exploring its broad history and relating it to the modern world. It covers the Middle East from the birth of the Abrahamic Faiths until the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The content then shifts to exploring how aspects of history manifest in the modern Middle East. This will offer a foundation for students to better understand how the region functions today and an entry point into Middle East politics. No prior study of the Middle East is required.
