Notes
Strategically important because it is situated at the crossroads of Europe , Asia, and Africa , Arabia has been coveted and controlled by many empires throughout history. The area's importance is all the greater today because of its fabulous oil reserves. The United States and the Soviet Union both competed for influence in Arabia after the British presence ended in the late 1960s. Arabian states joined the coalition against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. ( See also Persian Gulf War .)
