Features: A History of the Middle East adopts the format of a national general history to capture the overall picture of the Middle East, distinguishing itself from the framework structures of existing works on Middle Eastern history. Understanding the overall picture of a region generally follows an ascending line of "general" – "special" – "general" in the learning process. Writing regional history can be done vertically along the historical development of a "large region" as the "general" and "special," or horizontally along the political, economic, social, and cultural aspects of a "large region" as the "general" and "special." This book, guided by the theory of civilizational interaction, systematically and comprehensively outlines the historical changes, developmental trajectory, and characteristics and patterns of civilizational interaction in Egypt. The content covers an overview of Egypt, civilization and culture during the Pharaonic era, Egypt in the classical Islamic era, the impact of the West and the Europeanization of Egypt, the Nasser revolution, Egypt's comprehensive transformation, and the history of China-Egypt relations, among others.
