HD EXAM REVISION NOTES - HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST

Description

These notes are all I used to revise for the exam and achieved a HD Mark. The notes come from lectures, class discussion and extended reading. At the beginning there is a summary of each topic and the notable contents that should be focused on for the exam. And notable topics are marked in red with 'EXAM' next to them for quick reference. Topics: - Introduction - Orientalism and Literature - Orientalism and Popular Culture - Religion - Great Islamic Civilisations - The Crusades - Ottoman Empire - WWI and the Birth of Israel - WWII - The Cold War
