Identify two geographic features of the persian gulf region that explain why it was the site of two recent wars.

Two geographic features of the Persian Gulf region that made it a site of two recent wars are: 

a. Inland sea of 251,000 square kilometers - this mass of land connects different countries that are found within the area. It was easy for people to find conflict and claim over the gulf because of its location and size.

b. Crude oil and gas - the coastal areas of the Persian gulf is abundant with supplies and the only source of crude oil and gas all over the world. The conflict that arose with this simply sprung from the idea that whoever has the oil, gets worldwide power and wealth.
