Summary

Description
English: Orthographic grey-and-green locator map of the Near East's historical definition as to the west of the "Far East" and of the "Middle East", with 21st-century international borders.

"Near East" here includes: Mesopotamia, The Levant, the southern Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia, Egypt, Iran, Arabia, and the islands of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Western Balkans is here the western extreme of the Middle East, with Croatia (historically part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time of the late Ottoman Empire) counted as outwith the Near East. Sinai, Egypt, are here included, but besides Egypt, Africa as a whole is here excluded, as are the countries of the Caucasus. Afghanistan and other central Asian countries.
