The United Arab Emirates is an oil-rich country situated
in the south-east of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest
Asia, comprising seven emirates; Abu Dhabi, Dubai,
Sharjah, Ajman, Um Al-Quwain, Fujairah and Ras Al-Khaimah.
Before 1971, they were known as the Trucial States, in
reference of a nineteenth-century truce between the
British and some Arab sheikhs. It borders Oman and Saudi
Arabia. The UAE is also a part of the Middle East.
The 7 Trucial Sheikdom State of the Persian Gulf coast
granted the United Kingdom control of their defense and
foreign affairs in nineteenth-century treaties. In 1971,
six of these states - Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah,
Sharjah, Dubai, and Um Al-Quwain - merged to form the
United Arab Emirates. They were joined in 1972 by Ras Al
- Khaimah.
