About Tom
Expertise
While it is a huge topic, I am well-versed in World War II generally. There is a huge wealth of information available on the internet, HOWEVER, one has to know the trash from the gems. Many sites which are not obviously credible (govt, university, and museum sites, for ex.), provide erroneous information (intentionally or otherwise).
Experience
BA in history, and been reading and studying WW2 as my 'hobby' for 30 years. Regular contributor to several online forums in military history, WW2, and related areas and topics.
Organizations
None relevant to this topic.
Education/Credentials
BA, History (Secondary Education), with minor in Geography
US Army Engineer Officer (Officer Basic and Advanced Courses)

Question
What are the effects of the cold war on the Arab states?
What are the results of the collapse of the Soviet Union on the Arab states?
The outcome of the Zionist entity on the Arab region?
Answer
This is a homework question, which we aren't required to answer, but here's the jist of it:
* Cold War largely aligned Arab states with Soviets against the US/West (who were supporting Israel to one degree or another). Soviets then armed their client states heavily (esp. Egypt, Syria), and they fought hard wars against Israel (esp. speaking to 1967 and 1973 wars).
* Collapse of the USSR led to loss of the soviet support of the arab states, esp. in regards "good deals" on soviet weaponry.
Note that in both above answers, the USSR was also a member of UN security council, and so in 60s-70s-80s, they supported Arab states and were anti-Israel.
"The outcome of the Zionist entity on the Arab region?"
I don't know what this means.
I suspect it is meant to ask: "What was the impact of the establishment of Israel on the Arab region?"
