It is often said that the area between modern day Iraq and Iran is one of the most fought over frontiers in the world. The civilization of Sumer sprang up around 5300BC but due to the instability of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers that periodically wiped out farmland and populations the area was a hotbed of conflict as new groups battled for control of the area, most famously the Akkadians in 2340BC, the Babylonians in 1700BC, the Chaldeans in 800BC, the Assyrians at various times, the Persians in 600BC, the Macedonians in 300BC and the Ottomans in the medieval period. Also during these times various smaller tribes and Arab groups battled endlessly for control of the area. I very much agree with the author at cracked.com that "the "one-world government" conspiracy looks exactly like the random chaos of geopolitical events we've seen for the last few thousand years."
