It highlights various pivotal moments and struggles from Aden to Suez, including the conflicts between Islamic powers and European imperialism over the route to India, ultimately leading to Western domination of the oceans. It highlights that the sea remains a theater of global strategy and a site of international trade and security struggles. The book integrates and summarizes relevant studies on the Arab Middle East, Ethiopia, and the Horn of Africa. From biblical times and the medieval struggles for global dominance to the current era of intense international competition along the maritime corridor known as the "Silk Road," it explores this enigmatic waterway. The book illuminates the significance and future importance of the sea's history. It is essential for all researchers interested in maritime borders and Ethiopian and Arab history. 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 606 $aCultural History 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a909.096533 700 $aErlikh$b H?agai$01886942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910896179103321 996 $aRediscovering the Red Sea's Historical Significance$94522614 997 $aUNINA
