abstract
| - The Middle East War, also commonly referred to as the EHU Civil War by some Turkish officials, was a major conflict that began in 1979. The war was fought primarily between Turkey and the Arab nations of the EHU, including Saudi Arabia. The war elevated to near global destruction with the Soviet invasion of Turkey. The involvement of the USSR led to quick escalation, claiming thousands of lives in the initial assault. The war is often known for its destructive tactics employed, especially by the Turkish armed forces. Infuriated with the EHU resolution which declared that Turkey was no longer working in the best interests of the union and had to be pacified, Turkey order a massive and devastating barrage of the EHU nations. The bombings, which many Turkish commanders categorized as 'mutually assured destruction', due to the perceived unlawful invasion, claimed hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. The Turkish bombings would level entire cities, destroying dozens of sacred Islamic temples and sites, further inciting violence. By many Islamic nations the conflict is sited as an example of jihad, in which millions of Muslims rose up in protest against the Turks. The surge of militia following the Turkish attacks fueled the rebellion, quickly growing terrorist organizations such as 'The Storm' to large international divisions of the EHU joint military.
