World War 1

The war to the throne was shot in the Serbian government when Austria declared war with Serbia. World War 1 was truly a world war. The Germans invented the phrase. They understood that the war was being waged among colonial empires. Empires depend on their colonial possessions. World War 1 was the single most important event in the modern Middle East. It brought a political order which has lasted until today.

At the end of the war, the end of the Ottoman Empire came about. There was no longer Arab or Turkey nationalism. As a result of the collapse of the Ottoman nationalism, individual countries formed their own nations. Many things happened after that. Zionism was created and the Jews migrated to Palestine and then the Arab-Israeli conflict began.
