Answer 1

1. The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 because the Taliban refused to return Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

2. The 1947 United Nations plan for Palestine proposed dividing the land into Jewish and Arab states (with international control of Jerusalem).

Now cause and effect:
1. Cause — Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
Effect — A U.S.-led coalition launched the Gulf War (1991) and liberated Kuwait; Iraq was subjected to UN sanctions and no‑fly zones, increasing regional instability.

2. Cause — The fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
Effect — The Middle East was divided into new nation-states and European mandates (e.g., Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan/Palestine), reshaping borders and fueling nationalist movements.

3. Cause — The creation of Israel in 1948.
Effect — Large-scale displacement of Palestinians (the Nakba), the start of the Arab–Israeli conflict, and decades of refugee and territorial disputes.
