[OC] Trying to plot all the wars (civil and international) in the Middle-East since WWII

  1. Missed the Palestine civil war 1947-1948

    Fatah – Hamas 2006-2007

  2. Most civil wars are missing : sudan, algeria, libya , and very short ones too (morocco and algeria)

  3. nice representation but data is very flawed and generalistic. it seems to be from an external eye. for example the egyptian student riots (in the 40s i think) is not a civil war. more like widespread demonstrations. the 2011 arab spring had even more problems than that. there are many other examples i see here like that. not every conflict was a war and not even everything was represented.

  4. It’s nice that Oman decided to stop their civil war for a year in 1961 so that the region could have at least one peaceful year since 1945

  5. Allah is supposed to be great but he seems brings war and death.

  6. I’m from the middle east and from a cursory glance this is wrong. Or at least your definition of ‘War’ is extremely vague. Some of these things were riots, or small-scale stuff. According to this definition, the US is currently in Civil War

  7. Wouldn’t all the wars in Palestine also be civil wars in Israel?

    Since Israel is the internationally recognised country for that land?

  8. Feels criminal to not include the USA in Middle-Eastern wars.

  9. Be like Qatar and focus on self improvement and national wealth instead of other people’s silly religion

  10. You make it seem like that Egypt was under major warfare during the 60s for years. It wasn’t. 6 day war. Then was low level mostly ‘elite troop’ raids across the canal afterwards. The war of attrition. — also just noticed why is Israel year at war not counting for the war of attrition but Egypt is????

    So like I wonder maybe more colour? Or context.

    Just it makes it seem like Egypt been through shame level of war that Iraq and Iran was during their 8 year long intensive war.l
