Syria - Constant "Hot Spot."

Abstract: (5 pp) The modern state of Syria was not established until 1946, after the Second World War, but it is a land that has been inhabited since ancient times. Archaeologists have unearthed evidence of habitation dating back to about 5000B.C. . Damascus is probably the world's oldest continuously inhabited city. In 1800B.C. the Assyrian King, Shamshi-Adad I established his capital at Shubat Enlil, known today as Tell Leilan, in northeast Syria. Consequently, because of its ancient role in the Arab world, Syria maintains a definite power, within the region, which appears more than its geographic size would indicate. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
