84 84. Israel's prime minister was referring to the Negev Desert, which covers more than half of Israel's land, and to the challenge that it posed to the country. Israel's survival depended on whether the country could overcome the problem of its limited farmland.

Chapter:23 QUESTION: 51

85 85. Disagreements stemming from nationalism and religion have led to much instability in Southwest Asia. For example, Israel and neighboring Arab countries have been in conflict and have fought several wars since the establishment of Israel in 1948. In Iran, Shiite Muslim leaders overthrew the shah and set up a strict Islamic state in 1979. Shortly thereafter, Iran's Shiite Muslims engaged in an eight-year war with the Sunni Muslims in Iraq. In Lebanon, political and economic conflicts between the Maronite Christians and Muslim groups have led to two civil wars in that country since 1958.

Chapter:23 QUESTION: 52

86 86. The discovery of oil has brought great wealth to many of the countries in Southwest Asia and has enabled them to modernize and raise their standards of living. Iraq and Saudi Arabia, for example, have opened new schools and universities; built roads, airports, and hospitals; and improved communication systems. Also, knowing that they will one day run out of oil, several countries have developed petrochemical and other related industries.

Chapter:23 QUESTION: 53

87 87. Recognizing that they will not always be able to depend on oil, the countries of the Arabian Peninsula have invested large sums of money to develop other industries. Bahrain has become an international banking center. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have built steel and petrochemical industries. If these countries invest the large amounts of money they now have in industries that will endure, their countries will probably prosper.

Chapter:23 QUESTION: 54

88 88. Options include increasing the amount of arable land through irrigation and chemical fertilization; encouraging rural Egyptians to continue farming instead of flocking to the cities; providing financial incentives for people to have smaller families; outlawing child labor and mandating public education for all children until age 16; promoting industrialization through government-sponsored training programs.

Chapter:25 QUESTION: 39

89 89. People in the rural areas of North Africa live and work as farmers and herders in much the same way as their ancestors. Living in one-room houses made of mud and stone, they usually have no running water and rely on wooden plows to farm. Lifestyles in the North African regions along the Mediterranean contrast sharply with village life. Modern sections of North African cities today, with their wide avenues, modern office buildings, and people dressed in Western-style clothing, look much like cities in Europe or the United States.

Chapter:25 QUESTION: 40

90 90. Since it opened, the Suez Canal has been the focal point of many nationalistic movements in Egypt. First, Egyptian nationalists revolted in an attempt to regain control of the Canal. British troops invaded and defeated the Egyptians and remained in Egypt for the next several decades. Later, Nasser and other nationalist army officers overthrew the Egyptian government and seized the Canal. Great Britain and France declared war on Egypt but were forced to back down because of international pressure. Nasser held the Canal, and the British troops withdrew from Egypt.

Chapter:25 QUESTION: 41

91 91. When the Arabs ruled North Africa, they assimilated the people into the Arab culture, giving them the Arabic language and the Islamic religion. The Arab rule marked the beginning of a long golden age during which North Africa became a center of trade and learning. On the other hand, North Africans gained little from European nations that acquired colonies in this region for their own benefit. In fact, educated professionals in Egypt often emigrate to Western nations.

Chapter:25 QUESTION: 42

92 92. Southwest Asia is a desert region with a dry climate and unpredictable rainfall. As a result, people live and work in areas with reliable sources of water. Agriculture is concentrated along rivers and in coastal, mountain, and plateau areas that receive rainfall. Where there is little water, the people live as nomadic herders and sell the products of their livestock in nearby towns and cities.

Chapter:22 QUESTION: 49

93 93. All three are monotheistic, have origins in Southwest Asia, consider Jerusalem a holy city, and have holy books in which the history and teachings of the religion have been recorded.

Chapter:22 QUESTION: 50

94 94. With economic opportunities limited in rural areas, many farmers seek work in cities.

Chapter:22 QUESTION: 51

95 95. Characteristics that unite the countries: the harsh climate, the lack of water and arable land, and the Islamic culture. Characteristics that divide the countries: uneven distribution of oil reserves, uneven distribution of water.
