Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Both France and Great Britain influenced the region through the colonial occupation. Britain for example incorporated regions such as Kuwait and Bahrain into their empire to control vital sea routes; France developed much of North Africa to exploit natural resources. Most political borders today are the result of European colonialism and conflicts and negotiations following decolonization. The contributions of the British to the split between Israel and Palestinedating to decisions made in the early twentieth-centuryis most notable.
