The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was formed on December 2, 1971, when six emiratesAbu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al-Quwain, Fujairah, and Ajmanjoined to create a federation. The seventh emirate, Ras Al Khaimah, joined in February 1972. Before unification, these emirates were known as the Trucial States, a British protectorate since the 19th century. The British announcement in 1968 to withdraw from the Gulf by 1971 prompted the emirates to consider unification for mutual security and development. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, played pivotal roles in this process, leading to the establishment of the UAE as a sovereign nation.
