    The area has a deep and rich history, but also a violent one. Countless of peoples have been actually genocided (as in: nothing remains of them) there several centuries before rest of the world had civilization and therefore any means of manipulating them.

    European colonialism lasted roughly during years 1400-2000. A significant time, but also significantly shorter than the history of Middle East.
