The northwest area after world war ii. Many believe that is where the cold war started. The second was the oil crisis of 1951 and 1953, in which the iranians attempted to assert control over their Major Economic resource. In the end, the effort was frustrated, in part because of a cia sponsored coup against the iranian leader. The second two occurred after the islamic revolution. The first was something i was involved in personally, which was the hostage crisis from 1979 until 1981.
