How do the United Arab Emirates work?

- In 1971, during the wave of decolonization, the British protectorates of Bahrain, Qatar, and the seven emirates that now make up the UAE became independent.
The original plan was for Bahrain and Qatar to merge with the other seven emirates to form a single state. However, due to a number of disagreements over what that state should look like, it never materialized. As a result, Qatar and Bahrain went their own way.
In December 1971, the seven other emirates agreed to form the United Arab Emirates with Abu Dhabi as its capital. Each emirate is ruled by an emir, and the seven emirs together form the Supreme Council, which elects one of them as president every five years. There is no rule but an agreement that the emir of Abu Dhabi, the largest and richest of the emirates, shall be president of the country, and the emir of Dubai, the second most important emirate, shall be vice president and prime minister.
imagine if they never merged and I would've had to learn the difference between a small red rectangle and a slightly smaller red rectangle to memorise all country flags
i only know abu dhabi and dubai because i have their flags
They would've been annexed by Saudi through an agreement.
Ajman, Dubai / Sharjah, Ajman had exactly the same flags and you can still find these flags above the old forts in the country
@@MM-sn5xd Nice
Chad and Romania are already pretty impossible to distinguish without context
The way of how the UAE work kinda give me the HRE flashback
How though?
@@irenaveksler1935 The Holy Roman Empire worked the same way, the rulers of the biggest kingdoms would elect the Holy Roman emperor, and It sometimes was hereditary like in the UAE
@@Lucas-yf1es yeah but there are 7 Emirates
Didn’t the HRE have like 50-200
@@irenaveksler1935 yes
@@Lucas-yf1es okay
Just want to point out that only 6 of the 7 Emirates united in December 1971. The 7th, Ras-al-Khaimah, joined a bit later in February 1972.
Nice fact checking man!
Nice I live in ras al khaimah bro
Ras al khaimah is like me, when my family or friends plan something i don't wanna go, but at the end I'm like hey I'm coming with u guys
This is correct.
@Wafflexp nice wanna come to manar mall or Cornish al qawasim anytime together
If Qatar and Bahrain would form the allied country of UAE, Most of the FIFA football/soccer matches would take place in UAE
FIFA is corrupt
Yeah lol
Honestly I think FIFA really made a mistake. They should’ve had Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE to cohost the World Cup next month.
@@matthewhernandez8342 cohost world cups are the worst, you can watch only some matches.
It’s the most stupid thing ever happened, only because Sepp took his bags of gold. It’s why for the first time in my life I will not watch a single game, how disgusting it is.
A United Qatar, Bahrain and UAE would've been formidable. Oil, Trade, Financial Services, Tourism and Manufacturing all in one
A United GCC will be much more powerful financially than EU
FR
One day Saudi Arabia will unite the Arabian Peninsula inshallah
@@KGF-zf2qj There's nothing good about it
@@KGF-zf2qj GCC: am I a joke to you
Also as long as Iran and SA stop funding the terrorist groups on Yemen it will never happen
Keep up the good work. You will be huge on this site I'm sure.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
@@themarqopolo thanks haha (I’m from the uae) just a small error: the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah joined in 1972 after being promised to have the islands of tumb Al kubra and Al sughra returned after being compromised by Iran. Thanks! I love your videos!
i actually live in UAE in dubai, you have a very good explanation for those foreigners out there
Are you from the UAE? I want to move there. My Hope is to work, in a museum or Well as an animator.

@@Darkest_matter thanks for the info.
That's really nice explained 👍
Thank you bro
The way he proununced qatar and bahrain gave me the chills.
It's the standard arabic pronounciation
why what's wrong with the pronunciation
@@jakobfuugger Its nothin its just rlly yk cool ig.
@@tudorfilip3662 understandable o7
@@YatinVadehra it's that some pronunciations cannot or should not be perfectly translated from language to language, some require us to make sounds that other languages do not use, for example I would rather hack my legs off with dull tin snips than gave to make perfect French or Italian pronunciations (or even many Spanish ones), no nose speaking and no rolled R's.
That's actually quite cool
Not really. When were the people who live in the areas mentioned? They weren't. Not cool, just a government where the people don't have a say.
@@moonlily701 was cool, didn't ask for your opinion
@@highgroundpov9523 It's a fact not a opinion.
@@moonlily701 opinion not fact and I still didn't ask for it
@@highgroundpov9523 Nope. It's proven that the UAE isn't that great with human rights.
Basically, the UAE is like the Switzerland of the Middle East.

That actually might happen since relations are back there is no longer fighting
And we are all in the Arab league and the gulf league

The Emirates is number one on my top 5 Places I have to visit before I die, I want to travel to every Emirate.
Wherever the words 'colonization' or 'decolonization' are present, the British is involved.
Having grown up in the US, we never studied the Middle East. So, I appreciate these videos informing us of their rich History!
Y’all don’t study anything about Africa either. Y’all watch TV all day and believe everything on it
As an emarati, I agree on this and also bahrain Qatar and Oman use to be with us when we were the trucial states along time ago but I want to thank u for showing 262k people this video
oman owned you guys and owned south yemen
Bahrain and qatar were never part of the trucial states, the trucial states, alongside with bahrain and qatar were part of the omani empire for a while, but for most parts qatar was part of Bahrain since medival times, until the british came and made qatar a separate emirate.
@@abos7k UAE wasnt part of the omani empire. The trucial states back then happened to fall under the geographical area called coastal oman which was just a regional name. There was no heirarchal rule where Oman ruled any of the trucial states.
I hope that our union will last for a long time or even forever, LONG LIVE MY COUNTRY 🇦🇪💖
@hiOOxkr magkis Britain did not make the UAE, the Emirates united after the British colonization
Me too
@hiOOxkr magkis how is India still here?
❤️🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Why don't you all unite..as Arabs?
7 different governments in one country yet it has run strongly enough to make it today one of the most modern, developed & the peaceful in the region, despite all kinds of conflicts occurring around it. UAE despite its small size is already a regional power, comparable enough to compete with its friend yet competitor Saudi, & is also a contender to be a global power some day.
It’s one of the most remarkable stories of growth just in 3 decades, from an underdeveloped desert in 1970s to a developed power in the 2000s. And no, all of this has not come due to oil !
The burj khalifa doesn't even have a sewage system 💀
@@AXELVISSERS your point?

Man, can I hire you to teach me history and geography,your edits are awesome and concise to the point and i love it
hahahah Thank you
Knew abu dhabi from Garfield…when Garfield courier Odie to abu dhabi…
Most interesting. Thank you 🕺
Good informative video, thank you. Good luck with your youtube channel.
Finally someone speaking some history that is decentralized.... good job... and good to know for some folks ❤
Im kind of a political wonk. Do a lot of reading about political matters.
I never knew this at all. Great video. Keep it up.
Nostalgic … UAE social studies 🇦🇪 any gulf kids here !?
😊
This is untrue. Only 6 Emirates joined in 1971 to create the UAE. Ras Al Khaimah joined a few months later in 1972 as the 7th.
If bahrain qatar and UAE had merged it would have been a super rich country
Two minutes of silence for people who thought dubai was a separate country.
IKR!?
If the other 2 joined it would have been a powerhouse , the strongest on the Arabian peninsula and Levant.
Saudi Arabia will be still the strongest as it have more land, face the gulf and red sea, have more population, more oil, and the gdp of KSA is more than the combined gdp of these 3 nations.
Love the name of this channel. I had to join!
If Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE merged, it would have been interesting, honestly.
Maybe Arabia could form with Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia, and maybe more!
I could see Oman merging with UAE more than Saudi.
Bro. Saudi is at war with parts of Yemen… They wouldn’t merge with how much they hate each other….. how I know is because Yemen isn’t in the GCC and I live in Saudi
Sounds like highschoolers trying to form a group for a project.
I like the way he says “Bahrain”
Something i learned from living here is that the emirate borders in the northeast are a fucking nightmare to remember, so many panhandles, exclaves and squiggles
الحمدلله و الشكر لك يا رب داىما و ابدا
Well said👏🏻👏🏻
I love your voice man do an audio book
Nice
FYI, Ras al-Khaimah joined on 10 February 1972.
I would love to live there.
UAE is the best Muslim country
And how they manage their country is just awesome
Hm
Slave state
UAE is a great country but it’s definitely not the best Muslim country because they have a lot of non-Muslim violations the best Muslim country is Qatar because if you see what they’re doing for the World Cup, it’s all Muslim related
@@QR974
Thats the difference between a good and bad country.....
You can't live in medieval period in 2022
@@_kartik_chauhan let me tell you the difference between UAE and Qatar UAE allow people to kiss in public and do things that are not related to Muslim religion and that’s OK, but Qatar don’t allow that they keep to their religion
When you showed them on the map separately, you forgot the Emirate of Ras-Alkhaimah.
RAK joined a year after the other 6 emirates
@@علیرضا-ف6ق2غ The UAE was formed on 2nd of December 1971, and Ras Al Kahimah joined the union on 10th of February 1972 so just one month apart approximately.
Now please do How does Oman work
Seems very functional currently.
Supreme council sounds so cool. You have been summoned to the supreme council.
Not really. The people don't have any say in this council.
@@moonlily701 unlike our current corrupt system
We have cool and Based ruler🥶🥶
Supreme🥵🥵
Well technically the agreement was supposed to all of middle east given to house of saud. But you know... British.
Pretty cool
I live in a Emirate it's Sharjah the second most populated city in the UAE cheaper then dubai aswell:)
Do you put UK?
IT WORKS JUST FINE!!...hey! Don't look behind that curtain!
Fun fact: Each 3 country has its own formula 1 grand prix
You forgot to mention that Ras al Khaimah didn't join the union until 1972 and the leaders are not called Emirs, they are called "Sheikh"
Yes, they are technically Emirs. The title is Sheikh. Hence, its called an EMIRate. Hope that makes sense.
that's cool and in interesting
Please we want full video
What if UAE never exist? with 7 independents countries.
I live in Abudhabi pretty great city
Worlds safest city
@@fezhats_willhappen worlds safest city is Doha Qatar
@@QR974 lol 🤣 Doha looks like a dead city. There are already rape crime getting hidden in Qatar.
wait did I just see the world at the beginning
Similar to how the cantons work for Switzerland.
I live in Dubai
Britain still has an extremely close and strong relationship with Bahrain and Qatar. Along with the likes of Oman, Jordan etc.
if they did unite, the name of the country would be *The Oil Federation*
I just loved chapter 2, chapter 3 just didn’t hit it for me but I still liked C3S1 and this current season
im saudi, although i support absolute monarchy; whether i disagree or agree with how the UAE leader system works, its still pretty original and very cool!
As an Emirati, thank you. An elective monarchy might sound complex but with the harmony the 7 ruling families have with each other, it makes the transition smooth :)
Why isn’t The Crown Prince of Dubai giving us this history lesson?
They just chillin with their oil money
Fun fact: qatar used to share a border with uae
cool that Bangladesh and UAE got independence in the same year
Woow! Wallah never knew this.🙄🙄thanks
So kinda like the HRE ? Nice
What a clean system
Good one
I’m from the UAE I can approve he’s right
Speak arabic then!
One ring to rule them all
So Technically They're An Electives Monarchial Federation Kingdom & A Republic? A Kingdom Republic?
Yeah kind of.
It's not a Republic bro where you getting that from. Governor-Equals elect one of them to be President-Equal. All monarchs. No hard to get.
@@shyxpretion7429 no. Not "kind of". That's what someone would say if they didn't understand it.
Do you all remember the days when Bahrain was Quatar?
From an Australian I would never go anywhere near that place.
No please come we cant live without you😢
Why
Alhamdulillah, slowly slowly.
They also can turn to titans
That would have been an even more powerful nation
A cool and unique set up...shame that Bahrain and Qatar didnt join that would have been great too but they face both succeeded on their own.
I hope Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE unite be 1 Big Country
Weird but I kinda like it
I honestly think the UAE is a good partner in the region and its definitely way more stable than saudi arabia.
The British Empire reminds me of the sopranos mob going into countries like the gangsters go into businesses and demand payment for their unbridled protection.
Excelente
Did you create a dis acc ?
They don't. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Abu Dhabi is so large because it took the majority of the desert area since the others didn't want it
Abu Dhabi emirate was even bigger
The south part of AL Udaid next Qatar, was given to Saudi Arabia in 1994 due to bordering agreement with the UAE
These 3 country hold the most immigrants in the world,.mostly from Indian and Philippines
Which ironic tbh
I think canada has the most immigrants doesn't it?
It's immigration rate haa been 3x it's birth rate for about a decade
@@dean9261 actually it's UAE that's have the highest percentage of immigrants in the world, 80% of the population are foreigners while the citizens only make 20%.
@@وحيدكالقمر-ك7ل damn, that's crazy.
Some parts of canada are only 9% canadian
@@dean9261 all the GCC countries have the same thing, which having foreigners more than citizens, except for saudi arabia which the foreigners makes about 1/3 of the population.
@@dean9261 hmm not really because in gulf state the immigrants make up the majority, on UAE is the most extreme one, cus the natives only 20% and the rest are immigrants
So is the7 emirates of the UAE culturally amd ethnically the same?
If your rich there you can do anything
As life showed - they are living quite good by their own
I'm from UAE YAY😊❤
The 7 Emirates in UAE were 12 Emirates because some Emirates joined Other Emirates and some Emirates were taken by force like musandam shinas buriymy and more Respect from UAE and this is real 100/100 and who does not believe that search everywhere and ask and this is for talking and sharing ideas not for aurging and saying swear words and saying bad things about my country UAE how would you fell if someone sed this to your country Respect for UAE🇦🇪❤️❤️🇦🇪
Is this why Qatar and Bahrain have damn near identical flags?
@βLΔCҜ DΣΔΨH no. I am from Bahrain and we had our flag first. Yours is an ugly maroon and ours is a beautiful red. You changed yours a few years after us copycat.
No they are not near identical. Bahrain 🇧🇭 has 5 pillars and Qatar 🇶🇦 has 9 pillars. They are different colors and the amount of pillars makes different shapes. The white is the only thing in common. But many other flags use white as well so therefore is doesn’t really make a difference. Thank you for your time
@@icey.edits1 Qatar Flag Looks Royal because of maroon color .. Bahrain flag just have common color (red)
@@icey.edits1 our flag will looks way better
@@QR974 nope
The fact is that Bahrain got its independency for Iran not from England.
I feel like I remember Bahrain not being an island, but maybe I'm wrong
You are. It has always been. It used to be a burial 🪦 place for older ancient civilizations. I used to live there about a year and a half ago and I still go there a few times a month.
“there's no law but an agreement” 🙄
Bahrain got its independence from Iran, not the UK
