TURN to PAGE 150 in your textbook and read “Independence”
Independence People in Middle East resented (hated) European rule nationalism- every ethnic group wanted it's own independent nation most nations won independence by 1970
Independence PROBLEMS!!!! • "stateless nations" - some ethnic groups have strong loyalties but no country of their own Ex 1) Kurdswant a new country called Kurdistan (pats of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria) Ex 2) Palestinian Arabs want the land controlled by Jewish Israelis
KURDS Stateless Nations groups with no country
