The aim of the conference was to examine how European colonialism and great power rivalry in the Middle East and North Africa have shaped the perspectives of the peoples in these countries and their hopes for their future. Besides the European powers that established their colonial hegemony in these countries, the conference also dealt with the influence of countries, such as the United States of America and Germany, which extended their influence through diplomacy, financial and military aid, and education. The chronological framework of the conference extended from the mid-eighteenth century, when the political leaders of the countries of the Middle East and North Africa became aware of the Europeans’ economic and military ascendency, through the building of European colonial empires in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, to the collapse at first of the Western European colonial empires towards the middle of the twentieth century and then of the Soviet ‘empire’ late in the twenty-first century.
