THE MIDDLE EAST IN HISTORY
|
|
|
|
To understand the Middle East is to understand our own origins, but
|
|
still it is much more. It is the land of the earliest civilizations brought
|
|
up on earth. An understanding of this area means the exploration of one's
|
|
past and ancestors. To understand this unique fertile land is to get to
|
|
know the pople and countries of this land, to trace their footsteps over
|
|
the centuries and to try and see the world through their eyes both in the
|
|
past and future. In the following pages I will talk about one of these
|
|
countries, Kuwait, and show it potential capability, what it has to offer
|
|
to it's people and how it struggles to get along day by day.
|
|
|
|
Kuwait, a name that has resently benn known due to it's relationship to
|
|
the oil is situated at the western top of the Arabian Gulf. As seen on the
|
|
map, Kuwait is sorrounded by Iraq and Saudi Arabia, all of which seem to
|
|
occupy a bigger land area than this small helpful and peacful nation.
|
|
Kuwait's population exeeds 1.9 million people and covers a total land area
|
|
of more then 6 800 square miles. It's goverment is a constitutional
|
|
monarchy led by the Amir Jabir al-Ahmad al-Jabir Al-Sabah and his crown
|
|
prince Sheikh Sa'ad Al-Abdullah al-Salim Al- Sabah.
|
|
|
|
Kuwait's major cities are Kuwait city, with a population of 46 00
|
|
located at 29.20N,48.00E, Salmiyah, with a population of 154 000 located at
|
|
29.20N, 48.00E and Hawali, with a population of 152 000 located at 29.20N,
|
|
48.00E. Life expectancy of the average Kuwaiti male is 69 years while the
|
|
life expectancy for the female scored 74 years of age.
|
|
|
|
The annual rate of growth for the GNP in kuwait is -0.6%. The GNP for
|
|
agriculture in Kuwait is 0%, for indusstry 73%, for services is 27% and for
|
|
defense is 6%. The major imports of this country are transsport equipment,
|
|
manufactured goods, foodstuffs, livestock and machinery. As for it;s
|
|
exports Kuwait almost entirley depends on it's crude oil both under the
|
|
ground and under the sea.
|
|
|
|
Due to the prescense of the Arabian Gulf around and off the shores of
|
|
this country, it's fish and shrimp have almost filled the country. Kuwait's
|
|
agriculture is almost negligable but not it's industries. Inside Kuwait,
|
|
the country has developed industries for produsing oil, fertilizzers,
|
|
chemicals, building materials, construction, desalination and for food
|
|
processing.
|
|
|
|
Inside Kuwait, the main languages to be spoken are Arabic and English.
|
|
Kuwait's ethnic groups are basiclly Kuwaiti's(39%),Other Arabs(39%), South
|
|
Asians(9%) and Iranians(4%) Sunni Muslims make up most of the country's
|
|
religion whils only 15% of the people are Christians and other religions.
|
|
During Ramadan(Muslim Holy month)most of the country shops
|
|
close...................
|
|
|
|
A visa is required by any visitor approaching this country and a letter
|
|
of guaranty is required is required grom each buisnessperson.
|
|
|
|
The temperature is very hot in Kuwait and this is largley due to the
|
|
desert covers this region. Lightweight clothing is best recommended except
|
|
in winter months. Only then are conservative clothes worth while wearing.
|
|
The currency of Kuwait is the Kuwaiti dinar and the goverment receives 110
|
|
000 tourists yearly of which it earns more than 170 000 000 dinars.
|
|
|
|
Having talked about Kuwait's geographical location and described it's
|
|
goverment, resources, religion destribution, ethnic groups and points of
|
|
interest, I will know take you back in time to the year 1931 and tell you a
|
|
brief plot of how this country was formed.
|
|
|
|
Back in 1930 when Britain was in control of the Arabian Peninsula,
|
|
their never existed a country known as Kuwait. This land was a little
|
|
Emirate who's people lived largley on the seach for pearls and fish to eat.
|
|
It's inhabitant's were no more than 15 000 people and it was known for
|
|
being a stop route for people travelling by boat from India back to Jordon,
|
|
Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Quickly but gradually, Kuwait began building up it's
|
|
population and ocnurt.yI 't samnit aredw saw ti hrIqa , aengibhuo rhwso

|
|
time friend of Kuwait began claiming that Kuwait is his land and that it
|
|
was taken from him by force from Britain who is said to have threatened him
|
|
of either giving the north to Turkey or this peice of land to the Sabah
|
|
family. Thinking that the latter was less useful to Iraq, he was forced to
|
|
agree to give up Kuwait. In this sense, unstability remained in this region
|
|
and securiness still was not good enough. Although the country of Kuwait
|
|
continued to grow and develop the chance og an attack on it was very
|
|
likley.
|
|
|
|
During the Iraq vs. Iran war, Kuwait kept taking oil out of a
|
|
transitional zone that yet had to be divided up between Iraq and Kuwait. In
|
|
the Islamic conferense of 1988, Iraq warned Kuwait that it will pay the
|
|
price but no response was heard. On August the second 1990, Iraq invaded
|
|
Kuwait......and yet, there was much to come.
|
|
|
|
THE BATTLE FOR THE OIL SHALL CONTINUE....
