Au sujet du Qatar:
Qatar was under Turkish control from 1872 until the beginning
of World War I when the Ottoman Turks evacuated the Qatar
Peninsula. In 1916 Sheikh Abdullah placed Qatar under the protection
of Great Britain and gave Britain responsibility for its
defense and foreign relations. Qatar joined with Dubai in a Monetary
Union and issued coins and paper money in 1966 and 1969.
When Britain announced in 1968 that it would end treaty relationships
with the Persian Gulf sheikhdoms in 1971, this union
was dissolved; Qatar joined Bahrain and the seven trucial sheikhdoms
(called the United Arab Emirates) in an effort to form a union
of Arab Emirates. However the nine sheikhdoms were unable to
agree on terms of union, and Qatar declared its independence as
the State of Qatar on Sept. 3, 1971.
Au sujet de Qatar et Dubaï:
The traditional occupations of pearling, fishing,
and herding have been replaced in economics by petroleumrelated
industries. Crude oil, petroleum products, and tomatoes
are exported.
Dubai is one of the seven sheikhdoms comprising the United
Arab Emirates (formerly Trucial States) located along the southern
shore of the Persian Gulf. It has a population of about 60,000.
Capital (of the United Arab Emirates): Abu Dhabi.
Qatar, which initiated protective treaty relations with Great
Britain in 1916, achieved independence on Sept. 3,1971, upon
withdrawal of the British military presence from the Persian Gulf,
and replaced its special treaty arrangement with Britain with a
treaty of general friendship. Dubai attained independence on Dec.
1, 1971, upon termination of Britain's protective treaty with the trucial
Sheikhdoms, and on Dec. 2, 1971, entered into the union of
the United Arab Emirates.
Despite the fact that the Emirate of Qatar and the Sheikhdom
of Dubai were merged under a monetary union, the two territories
were governed independently from each other. Qatar now uses
its own currency while Dubai uses the United Arab Emirates currency
and coins.
Envoie un message au boss, il est maître des décisions stratégiques, sinon sur le forum cela ne fera qu'un post de plus de propositions diverses qui restent sans suite à ce jour.
