Which factor contributed to favorable interactions among Muslim, Jewish, and Christian societies in Europe during the Middle Age
Leno4ka [110]

The coexistence between Muslims, Jews and Christians was normal during the Middle Ages.

Jews lived in both areas, in harmony with Muslims and Christians.

Despite their consequent struggle, Muslims and Christians have always lived together, since some Christians lived in the Muslim zone.

The interest of the European countries to know the philosophical and scientific works of the Greek and Latin authors, brought by the Arabs, made creation in the Christian Spain of schools of translators. In these schools the three cultures coexisted (Arabs, Jews and Christians). they translated literary texts and treatises of scientists.

The Mozarabs were the Christians who lived in the Islamic zone. when they went against Muslim laws and practiced another religion they had to pay taxes.

Medieval Spain has often been presented as a peaceful coexistence between cultures. but not always has this harmony been, since one of these cultures always dominated so there have been revolts and episodes of violence between them.

The final breakdown of harmony occurred in the s. xiv, ending with the expulsion of the Jews in 1492.

Why did saddam hussein attack kuwait in 1990?
alekssr [168]
The main reason behind the invasion of Kuwait was financial dispute

When the Iran–Iraq War broke out, Kuwait initially stayed neutral and also tried mediating between Iran and Iraq. In 1982, Khomeini openly attempted exporting the Iranian Revolution to Kuwait.

As a result, Kuwait supported Iraq in order to prevent Iranian hegemony in Kuwait. In 1982–1983, Kuwait began sending significant financial aid to Iraq. Kuwait's large-scale economic assistance to Iraq often triggered hostile Iranian actions against Kuwait. Iran repeatedly targeted Kuwaiti oil tankers in 1984 and fired weapons at Kuwaiti security personnel stationed on Bubiyan island in 1988.

During the Iran–Iraq War, Kuwait functioned as Iraq's major port once Basra was shut down by the fighting.

However, after the war ended, the friendly relations between the two neighbouring Arab countries turned sour for several economic and diplomatic reasons that culminated in an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

By the time the Iran–Iraq War ended, Iraq was not in a financial position to repay the US$14 billion it borrowed from Kuwait to finance its war and requested that Kuwait forgive the debt.

Iraq argued that the war had prevented the rise of Iranian hegemony in Kuwait. However, Kuwait's reluctance to pardon the debt created strains in the relationship between the two countries. During late 1989, several official meetings were held between the Kuwaiti and Iraqi leaders but they were unable to break the deadlock between the two.

Experts also claims several reasons like

1 ) Many westerners believed that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was largely motivated by its desire to take control over the latter's vast oil reserves. The Iraqi government justified its invasion by claiming that Kuwait was a natural part of Iraq carved off as a result of British imperialism. After signing the Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1913, the United Kingdom split Kuwait from the Ottoman territories into a separate sheikhdom. The Iraqi government also argued that the Kuwaiti Emir was a highly unpopular figure among the Kuwaiti populace. By overthrowing the Emir, Iraq claimed that it granted Kuwaitis greater economic and political freedom.

2) The funds that Gulf countries lent to Iraq were used to buy high tech weapons, high tech weapons that made Iraq one of the largest armies in the world and a force to contend with. "Ironically much of the money and weapons came from the countries that united to fight against him."1 The Gulf countries bankrolled him while the Western nations, who had many defense contractors going out of business because of the end of the Cold War, supplied him with the weapons to fight Iran and later Kuwait and the Coalition. With a large army like his, it would be very easy to defeat the far smaller Kuwaiti army compared to his.
