After 1945, the middle east, which had essentially been under european colonial control, is free and decolonized.

The middle east was likely going to be a mess. The creation of israel would make things worse. This is where canada comes in, as canada played a role in the creation of israel. For years, jews had hoped for a jewish state. Jews did not have a homeland for over 2,000 years. Anti-semitism was rampant in christian europe for over 1,000 years. This whole area was controlled by the british, who are now facing a rebellion by the jewish membership.
