∙ 8y agoYou cannot say that the Middle East was 'formed'. It is not an organisation or a country. It is a loose term for a general area. In a sense it has been there longer than people have been on Earth. There is dispute about where the phrase came from. It may have originated in the British India Office in the 1850's. The American naval strategist Alfred Mahan brought it into general use in 1902. There has been a lot of debate about which regions it actually includes.

Why is the middle east called the middle east?
According to an article in Foreign Affairs (Davison, 1960) the term Middle East was popularized by an American naval officer named Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1902, but it might have been used by the British during their years of colonialism in the region. China and Japan for example were considered to be the Far East so the region between the Far East and The West then became the Near East or the Middle East. Although at times in history the Near East denoted the Balkans, it now generally means the Middle East plus Turkey and Iran. The terms Middle East and Near East are eurocentric because they describe a region in relation to Europe or The West. Despite this, the term is now accepted and even people in the Middle East call it that (Al-Sharq Al-Awasat means Middle East in Arabic). The issue of why the Middle East is called the Middle East is an interesting example of how simple geographic names are emeshed in geopolitics and can shift in meaning over time.For a more detailed history read: Roderic H. Davison, "Where is the Middle East?" Foreign Affairs, Vol. 38, p. 665 -675. July 1960
