The Israeli war of Independence, the Suez Canal Crisis, the Six
Days War, and the Yom Kippur War all had major impact on the Middle East. The Israeli War of Independence
occurred right after the partition of the Palestine area. The Israelis quickly attacked their Arab neighbours and expanded their territory on their strike-first principle. The gain in territory for Israeli was also the cause of many Palestinians becoming refugees. The Suez Canal Crisis was the next Arab-Israeli conflict.
The conflict was between Israel and Egypt. The British and French supported Israel while Russia supported
Egypt. The issue was finally
resolved by the UN. The main
outcome of the Suez Canal Crisis was that the influencers of the area became
Russia and the U.S. instead of Britain and France. The security of the canal also helped for the economy of Israel to
flourish. The next conflict, the
Six Days War of 1967, was also between Israel and Egypt. Egypt expels the UN troops from the canal zones and prepares for war with Israel. The Israelis once
again attack first and manage to gain large amounts of territory once
again. In fear of an escalating
war the U.S. steps in to help the conflict. This war ends with the influence of the
U.S. and with Israeli having a larger territory. The final of the four events was the Yom Kippur War of 1973. The
Egyptians make the original gains but Israel manages to regain their land with
aid from the U.S. The borders
remained unchanged. At the end of
this war the Egyptians and Arabs realize that they need another way of war
against Israel. OPEC raises the
price of oil by 70% which causes a worldwide financial crisis. This war creates a change from basically religious and territorial wars and conflicts to resources based wars and conflicts.
