This world is the area between India and Pakistan, which are divided by the Indus River, as well as Turkey’s border with Europe. In between these two areas, we have what is now known as the Middle East. To find out, let’s travel back in time to when civilization emerged around the Mediterranean Sea and China. The author wonders where the term “Middle East” came from. Big Idea #1: Sandwiched between West and East, the Islamic world was born amid a commercial and pagan society. This is a summary of how Islam was born just how far the Muslim empires stretched and why Europeans went on explorations in search of spices.
