Historic documents records that the main reason for war between kingdoms or territorial regions in the past was natural resources. Nations would fight for the natural resources, and in most of the cases, the stronger nations would take over the weaker ones in order to have the control over the natural resources. However, we live in an era of empowerment through knowledge, and this has completely changed the concept of war. Powerful nations can no longer attack the weaker ones without any proper justification as it used to happen in the past. Things are rapidly changing, and the days when India was considered a country of spices and South America a region of gold is long gone. Technology has lead countries to improve their economy in a faster and more efficient way. Soon after the world discovered oil and its importance, it started to focus more on its acquisition. In this study, the researcher seeks to confirm the claim that natural resources comes with the price of constant wars instigated by both internal and external players. In 1980, a border war started between Iraq and Iran. The two countries with large oil fields engaged in a prolonged war for about 8 years, after which they agreed to end the bloodshed. They sought to find a solution to the conflict about the natural resources along their borders. Two years after the truce between these two countries, Iraq took over its south neighboring country Kuwait, with the intentions of taking over the oil fields and pay the debts that slowed the growth of their economy. The United States, along with other counties, intervened and liberated Kuwait in 1991. Because of this support, this oil rich country became an ally to the West because it was convinced that it was capable of protecting it from the aggressive neighbors. Since the discovery of oil in the Middle East, the region has known no peace as terror groups and governments constantly engage in wars in an attempt to control the oilfields. Although the region accounts for over 66% of oil reserves of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, this resource has not benefited the country because of the constant wars. Instead of these rich natural resources acting as the economic boosters, they have acted as the reason that makes the region a good target for the terror groups. Some of the leading world powers such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Russia have started conspiracy by linking Al-Qaida, and other group of terrorists that have been funded by them as a reason to invade some of these countries with the claim of freeing the world. A good example was the 9/11 attacks on the United States’ soil that was directly linked to the terror groups operating in these oil-rich countries. The following are some of the questions that many critics have been asking. Will the world shift away from the Middle East once they dry out their oil resources? Are the Arabs the main reason for 9/11 attacks on the American soil? According to Pensador (1), the need to conquer Middle East increased following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The decline of the Ottoman Empire created a room for many European countries to spread their kingdoms i
