This is a programmed reading activity explaining key events in the Middle East from the Mandate System after WW1, birth of Israel, Suez Crisis, Six Day War, Yom Kippur War, Camp David Accords, PLO & Arafat, Iranian Revolution, and the Iran-Iraq War. It does NOT touch upon First Gulf War, US Invasion of Iraq 2003, or the US Invasion of Afghanistan.
It is a programmed reading so the left column has the reading text and the right hand column has questions for students to answer as they read.
