10 Part 4: Short answer. (5 pts. each) 1. What is the basis of the modern Arab-Israeli conflict? Both the Arabs (Palestinians) and Jews want to control the land historically known as Palestine, which is the modern-day country of Israel and some of the surrounding land. Both groups consider Jerusalem to be a holy city. The region is the ancient homeland of the Jews, since the time of Abraham, but it has also been the home of a large Arab population for centuries. 2. Why is the Suez Canal an important waterway? Before the Suez Canal, ships from Asia and the Middle East would have to travel all the way around the southern tip of Africa to reach Europe or America. The Suez Canal significantly reduces the distance a ship must travel to trade between Europe and the Middle East. The Suez Canal is a primary shipping route for Middle Eastern oil. 3. How does the topography of North Africa and the Middle East dictate the disbursement of populations and cities? Because North Africa and the Middle East are primarily dominated by deserts, there are large portions of land that are largely uninhabitable. Availability of water dictates where large populations will be able to thrive (i.e., the Fertile Crescent). Though modern technology has enabled things like desalinization plants and large-scale irrigation, people are still clustered around coasts and rivers. Test Key: Unit 7

14 Part 4: Short answer. (5 pts. each) 1. Compare the Korean and Vietnam Wars, including events that sparked the conflicts, countries involved, and outcomes. Both wars were fought between Communist and anti-communist forces; both involved previously united countries that had been split in two, in which the divided governments were fighting to reunify the country under different ideologies; in both wars the Communist governments were aided by China and the Soviet Union, while the anti-communist forces were aided by the U.S. and other countries; the Korean War only lasted three years and ended with a still-divided Korean Peninsula; the Vietnam War lasted twenty years and ended with the Communist government in control of the entire country. 2. What problems did colonized countries in South and East Asia face after they gained independence? What other region of the world experienced similar difficulties? Like in Africa, when colonial powers were dividing up territories in South and East Asia they did not take cultural, religious, or ethnic divisions into account. There have been several violent conflicts in several countries (India/ Pakistan, Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Indochina) over the years, especially as countries were seeking independence and establishing their own governments. 3. In what ways did the British East India Company help shape the development of Asia during the 18th and 19th centuries? The British East India Company had a lot of influence over two countries specifically India and China and over the economies of the region in general. The Company essentially ruled India in the 18th and early 19th centuries, shaping economic, education, political, and social policy in India. The British East India Company also forced China, through a series of wars and unequal treaties, to open its doors to trade with Europe, fostering not only the exchange of goods, but of ideas. As a result of the chaos caused by the Opium Wars and subsequent social and economic disasters, dynastic rule in China ended, opening the door for modern political ideologies to take hold.
