The Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the most complex and long-running conflicts in the world. It has its roots in the early 20th century, when the British Empire began to withdraw from the region. In 1948, the United Nations voted to partition Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish. The Arab states rejected the plan, and war broke out between them and the newly-created state of Israel.

The conflict has continued ever since, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In 1967, Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt. In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel, but were defeated. In 1978, Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty, but the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has continued.

The Routledge Atlas of the Arab-Israeli Conflict is a comprehensive guide to the history and geography of the region. Featuring over 100 maps, charts, and diagrams, the atlas provides a unique and detailed look at the conflict and its impact on the region.

The atlas is divided into three sections:

The first section covers the early history of the conflict, from the British Mandate to the creation of Israel in 1948.
The second section covers the major wars and conflicts in the region, from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War to the present day.
The third section covers the political and social issues that have shaped the conflict, such as the role of the United Nations, the Palestinian refugee problem, and the settlements.

The Routledge Atlas of the Arab-Israeli Conflict is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the complex history of this conflict. The maps, charts, and diagrams provide a clear and concise overview of the region and its history, making it an invaluable tool for students, researchers, and policymakers alike.
