The middle-east has always been a region rife with conflict and struggle. This was especially true between 1400 and 1900, when different empires battled for rule over the land. Religious zealots preached their beliefs, causing mass political tension and strife. The era was one enormous power struggle, with each new ruler struggling for dominance over the rest. As you can imagine, this constant turmoil caused massive and frequent changes in middle-eastern culture, which, in some cases, haven't yet been settled.

Essential Question: How did conflict in the middle-east between 1400 and 1900 affect the culture there?
