The modern Middle East is surrounded by myths and misconceptions in the Western mindset. This podcast series looks at the Six Years That Made the Modern Middle East, six pivotal years that shaped the present chaos and brought us to this point in history. Contrary to popular opinion, the...
In our Six Years That Made the Modern Middle East podcast series, we come to our finale episode 2011. This is the year of the Arab Spring. It’s the year that the Syrian Civil War began. It was the year the US withdrew from Iraq. It was also the...
