Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive overview of the geography, history, and modern geopolitical landscape of Central and Southwest Asia. Hosted by Brian, the lesson begins by establishing the region's historical significance as the "birthplace of civilization" and the origin of three major world religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It traces the transition from the Agricultural Revolution to the rise of empires like the Ottomans, and explains how World War I and the subsequent protectorate system shaped modern national borders.
