That region had been considered a relatively quiet backwater mostly (not counting Egypt) under the control of the Ottoman Empire for centuries, until the Ottoman collapse during WWI allowed the British and French victors to slice the region up into new political entities that favored European interests - in particular, European oil interests. Absent oil, that region probably would have remained a relatively quiet backwater.
Calling the Ottoman empire a relatively quiet backwater is wild. There was a ton of conflict and it was a huge trade and culture hub. It had its highs and lows. Even its the most peaceful times (which followed decades of war) it was a wack a mole of rebellions.
A relatively quiet backwater damn dont let a Turk hear you disrespect the Ottoman empire like that.
