January 10: The United States and the Middle East
The United States closely monitored events in the Middle East, though the British and French dominated the region. By the end of the 1930’s both Britain and France realized their time in the region was running out. The two European powers were also far more concerned about the rise of Nazi Germany than they were regarding events in the Middle East. Following World War II, the European powers withdrew from the region, and the United States became the new power and sought to keep western influence in the region.
