Summary
Tareq Ismail's description of the Middle East, written in the middle of the twentieth century, identifies the key elements of the place of the Middle East in modern world history. In the modern era, Middle Easterners experienced the changes that transformed societies around the globe. One key to understanding modern Middle Eastern history is the changing relationships between foreign powers and regional and local groups. The Middle East was in a period of decline in the eighteenth century. The Ottoman Empire in 1750 began two decades of peace. The global-local (glocal) character of the Napoleonic episode set a framework for 'the Eastern Question'. Societies in the Middle East and the world changed dramatically in the century between the rise of Napoleon in the 1790s and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The Turkish and Iranian constitutional revolutions were part of a global pattern of liberal revolution against authoritarian regimes in the decade before the First World War.
