The Arab world refers to the area where Arabs live together, including 22 Arab countries, mainly distributed in West Asia and North Africa. This area is historically a whole and once belonged to the Arab Empire . The Arab Empire originated from the Arabian Peninsula in West Asia. It is called the Dashi in Chinese history books. Later, through continuous external expansion, it expanded its territory to North Africa .
At its peak, the Arab Empire even expanded eastward and had constant friction with the Tang Dynasty . However, in the previous border conflicts with the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, the Arab Empire always lost more than it won. The only time the Arab Empire defeated the Anxi Army was in the Battle of Danros. This war was commanded by the Tang Dynasty general Gao Xianzhi . He led the Anxi Army and the Arab Army to fight for five days without a winner. Originally, the fate of the shooter was unknown. , as a result, the Geluolu tribe suddenly rebelled and attacked the Tang army with the Arab army, resulting in the failure of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Tang Dynasty failed in this war, it did not affect the border between the two countries. After the war, the Tang Dynasty still controlled Central Asia, and the Arab Empire did not dare to cross the border. After the Arab Empire, West Asia and North Africa were gradually controlled by the Ottoman Empire . Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, these regions were still a whole, but for the convenience of rule, the Turks divided West Asia and North Africa into many provinces, and then deliberately Provoke conflicts among the Arabs, keeping them in check and unable to rebel. This method was later followed by the United Kingdom and the United States.
After the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, the Arab world gradually became a Western colony. The location of this land is important. When Westerners began to sail, it was mainly because the Ottoman Empire occupied the Arab world and monopolized the east-west trade routes. Westerners were fed up with the suffering of the Turks monopolizing trade routes, so they would never allow the Arab world to form a complete power. Especially after the Arab world discovered oil and became the world's main oil producing area, the West would not allow the Arab world to integrate. Otherwise, monopolizing trade routes and monopolizing oil would be very terrifying.
In order to split the Arab world, the United Kingdom followed the Ottoman Empire, created conflicts, provoked disputes among various ministries, and then supported the establishment of separate countries by each ministry, and suppressed countries that had the ability to integrate the Arab world. Later, the United States attacked Iraq , Libya , for this purpose. , is to prevent the integration of the Arab world. But this is not enough. Although the Arab world has been split into multiple countries, it is still a geographical whole. In the future, these countries with similar ethnic cultures may still be integrated together. For this reason, the West began to support the establishment of a state in Palestine by Jews.
After World War II, with the support of Britain and the United States, the Jews established the State of Israel in Palestine. The Jews say that Palestine is their Promised Land, and if they are to establish a state, it must be here. But in fact, there is another important reason why the Jews established a state in Palestine , and that is the support of the West. If the Jews choose to establish a state in other areas, the West will not support it. So what is going on?
The reason is also very simple. The West needs Israel to geographically divide the Arab world and contain Arab countries to prevent them from integrating. The Palestinian area is located at the transportation hub of Asia, Europe and Africa. It is the connection between Asia and Africa, West Asia and North Africa. The establishment of a Jewish state here was just enough to divide the Arab world.
Judging from the map, the territory of Israel is also like a wedge driven into the Arab world, causing the Arab world to be divided into two parts, making land contact impossible. Otherwise, building railways and roads here can connect West Asia and North Africa. Quick intercourse among Arabs. But all this is no longer possible due to the existence of Israel. There is currently no land passage between West Asia and North Africa, and the only way to communicate with each other is by air and sea. But as construction technology develops, there is a way to bypass Israel and reconnect the Arab world.
This method is to build a cross-sea bridge. The Sinai Peninsula to which Egypt belongs and Saudi Arabia face each other across the Gulf of Aqaba. The Gulf of Aqaba is a long and narrow bay in the northern part of the Red Sea, 160 kilometers long from north to south and 19 to 19 kilometers wide from east to west. 27 kilometers, and there are two islands at the mouth of the bay, namely Tiran Island and Seinefer Island. It happens that the island can be used to build a cross-sea bridge integrating bridge and island. It can not only reduce the technical difficulty and save construction funds, but also increase the height of the bridge and avoid affecting the waterway. Therefore, this location is very suitable for building a cross-sea bridge.
After the bridge is completed, the Arab world can be reconnected as a whole. West Asia and North Africa can also bypass Israel and resume land connections. They do not have to be limited to sea and air transportation. This will be beneficial to enhancing the connections and economic and trade exchanges between countries in the Arab world. Very beneficial.
