1. Near East

   The Near East is a transcontinental region in Western Asia, Southeastern Europe and North Africa, encompassing the historical Fertile Crescent, the Levant, Anatolia, East Thrace and Egypt. Despite having varying definitions within different academic circles, the term was originally applied to the Ottoman Empire. According to the National Geographic Society, the terms Near East and Middle East denote the same territories and are "generally accepted as comprising the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinian territories, Syria, and Turkey". In 1997, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations defined the region similarly, but also included Afghanistan. The region (with the exception of Egypt) is "now commonly referred to as West Asia."
