لفظ "خاورمیانه" در سال 1902 میلادی جعل شد. چگونه آن افراد توانستند خلق نشده را نابود کنند. اگر با کمی ادب صحبت از منطقه می شد بهتر بود. در آنصورت هم پاسخ می گرفتید نه سامیان پیش از اینان اولاد ذکور دشمنان خود را نمی کشتند، معبد یکدیگر را تخریب نمی کردند. الکی نمی شود معرکه گیری کرد. Why Is The Middle East Called The Middle East? - Commisceo GlobalThe term "Middle East" was coined by American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1902 to describe the region between Arabia and India, specifically around the Persian Gulf. The term was later popularized and expanded by others, such as Winston Churchill, and gained widespread use after World War I.
1902: Alfred Thayer Mahan first used the term "Middle East" in a September article to refer to the area around the Persian Gulf, as this website from ArcGIS Online notes. He was concerned about naval control and supply routes, similar to the British outposts of Malta and Gibraltar.
Expansion of the term: The term was initially a small geographical area, but it was expanded by others, such as Valentine Chirol, who included more of the region.
Post-World War I usage: The term became more established and widely used by the British after World War I, especially when Winston Churchill headed the "Middle East Department".
Internationalization: The term gained further international recognition after the establishment of the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. in 1946, notes WorldAtlas.
