description
[]


First sentence: Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, and particularly after the British withdrawal in 1971, the Persian Gulf experienced a series of political and economic jolts: two major oil shocks that affected the entire international economic system; two regional wars that depleted local economies and engaged the international community and outside powers; an Islamist revolution that altered the political face of the largest regional power; and a series of smaller conflicts and external interventions.
