The two most important resources in this region are oil and water. The huge oil “deposits there and in the neighboring countries around the Persian Gulf (the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain) established these countries as some of the richest in the world” (Document F). Nevertheless, the countries who do not have as much access to oil are weak economically. Oil is the biggest export in the Middle East, and in a way, the amount of oil a country has determines how wealthy that country will be. Another component of oil is that countries and ethnic groups are disputing for the control of prices of this economic resource. It has gone to the far extent of foreign countries attempting to control the oil price and also the use of weapons for this (Document E). In addition, it is impossible for each country to have equal access to water due to the unbalanced distribution of these essential resources. As a result of this, these countries are fighting for as much control of water sources they can get. Radically, there are many countries in the Middle East that are striving to obtain as many natural resources to strengthen their economy and lifestyle, and it seems most obvious that the scarcity of these resources is a significant problem in the region

World War II prompted U.S. leaders to pay greater attention to the oil resources of the Persian Gulf region, because in order to maintain its status as one of the global elites in oil in the case of a domestic shortage, the United States needed to secure an available foreign oil source during the war.

My pearls are a reminder of people before me who had ambition beyond restraint, people who had to step outside of the box and go against the grain. These are my ancestors. They tell the story that brings me to where I am today. The past shows clues to the future, I believe and I hope to one day be as brave as the people before me.

From the 1800’s to present day, the Middle East has undergone many changes and continuities causing formation of their national identity, main factors that contributed were social aspects on society, government structure, and the strong religious roots they possess. The majority of changes occurred through the society aspects with the treatment of women and the discovery of oil. In Middle Eastern history women have had limited rights and have always been unequal to men. Women have always remained very conservative; being sheltered from other men not being able to go in public being covered from head to toe. The discovery of oil has also created many opportunities for the Middle East giving them a national identity and increasing economy.

The day Pearl Harbor was attacked was December 7th 1941, or better know as the day of infamy. In this paper we are going to outline the attack on Pearl Harbor, why it was attacked, how it was attacked, and the effects of the attack.

In the beginning days of World War II, the Imperial Japanese Empire launched several campaigns to expand their empire along the Pacific Front, extending from the islands north of Australia to bases located in Northern China. In June 1942, six months after the Pearl Harbor attack, the Japanese attacked the Aleutians Islands, a chain of islands over 1,000 miles extending from west coast of Alaska into the Bering Sea. On 3-4 June, despite heavy fog and rough seas, the Japanese conducted naval air raids on Dutch Harbor, the United States' only major military base in the region. Forty-three Americans were killed, Sixty-four wounded, and eleven aircraft destroyed while the Japanese only had a loss of ten aircraft. On 6 June, the Japanese landed at Kiska Island and on the following day, 7 June, Attu Island, approximately 200 miles away, and immediately established a small garrison on each island to prepare for the American response. Attu and Kiska had little value to either military because of the barren, mountainous terrain and harsh weather. However, the U.S. intercepted radio transmissions from Japan outlining the attack on the Aleutian Islands in a feint attack to divert part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet during the Japanese attack on Midway Island (June 4–7, 1942), allowing them a numerical advantage in order to destroy what was left of the U.S. Navy after the attack on Pearl

The Pearl, written by John Steinbeck perfectly encapsulates the stringent economic and social divide among the poor and the rich not only on the basis of wealth but also ethnicity and historical divide. This is highlighted by the fact that there was frustration among the people of the village due to their oppression at the hands of their European colonizers. The living conditions of the town were thus very poor. They lived in brush houses and wore ragged clothes, without proper housing or even sanitation. While the European descendants lived in stone houses, surrounded by walls, the Indians, who had been subjugated for over 400 years lived in grass shacks with muddy floors. The situation of the town could be subsequently

Initially, Saudi Arabia was largely a subsistence economy, gaining its revenues from subsistence agriculture and sale of natural resources. The Saudi population was highly dependent on subsistence farming and was very poor, given that climatic conditions in Saudi Arabia are not favourable for food production. However, the situation drastically changed when oil was first discovered in 1930 's. Although a highly sought after commodity, oil prices were

The location of the Arabian Gulf is of great economic importance. Due to the large source of oil and many oil businesses in that area, the Arabian Gulf has been known as one of the busiest areas in the world. The regional economy is heavily dependent on earnings from the oil sector. Each year, Middle East countries export 90% of its oil to different regions around the world. 55% of all international ships travel through the Arabian Gulf 3-4. The high density of ships trading in the region is demonstrated by more than 60,000 port calls at the 42 ports and terminals per year 3. This amount of marine traffic brings with it

City of rocks because we see a lot of rocky hills around the city; and city of pearls because it is one the largest pearl producer cities in India. Hyderabad is known for its Qutb Shahi and Nizami culture. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Hyderabadi culture is the Hyderabadi Urdu dialect, which is easily identifiable from other dialects. Hyderabad is also known for its Persian influenced cuisine which include Biryani, Haleem and Irani chai. There are beautiful tourists locations like Salar Jung Museum, Falaknuma, Chaomahalla and King Kothi Palaces, Purani Haveli, Golkunda fort, Charminar, Mecca Masjid, Ramoji Film City, Birla Temple and others. The Nizams have contributed a lot to this city. Some of the institutions built by the Nizams have now become Government institutions, like the High Court, Osmania University and Salar Jung Museum. The Falknuma Palace has been transformed into a super luxury Heritage Hotel, now owned by the Taj Group. Jamia Nizamia a well known Islamic university, the lakes of Osmansagar and Himayat Sagar and the present drainage system of Hyderabad were all built during the Nizam rule. There’s a beautiful lake in the middle of the city known as Hussain Sagar which was built by the Qutb Shahs. It is surrounded by many parks, gardens and wide roads which offer nice drives of which Necklace road is the best stretch. Unfortunately Hussain Sagar is not being maintained well by the government and so has become dirty
