The United Arab Emirates has not always been the strongest nation it is today. In fact, the country was divided into rival tribal groups, which occupied different areas. In 1820, Britain came into the picture and offered protection to the tribes in exchange for some control over the land. Desperate for peace, the many tribes accepted this offer and let Britain be responsible for resolving the disputes between them. In 1968, Britain removed itself from the picture after beginning to experience financial losses.

After Britain's exit from the picture, the rulers of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain decided. unite. On December 2, 1971, the Emirates declared their independence from Britain and became the United Arab Emirates. Later, Ras Al Khaimah- the seventh emirate - also joined this union. All the processes of merging and freedom from colonial rule were achieved without any violence!

To mark the unity of the seven emirates and the announcement of the United Arab Emirates, the flag of the United Arab Emirates as we know it today was raised, and the first president of the UAE was elected - Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Sheikh Zayed was the emir of Abu Dhabi and was the richest of the seven emirates. Today, the UAE is recognized as an intermediate power and an influential country with a thriving economy, oil reserves, abundant tourists and some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as the Burj al-Arab Hotel and Burj Khalifa.
