A Gulf Union between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain would likely have faced significant challenges in 2011 due to underlying political, economic, and ideological differences among the states. Although these countries share cultural and historical ties, their differing national priorities often conflict. For example, Qatar’s independent foreign policy and support for movements like the Muslim Brotherhood clashed with Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s staunch opposition to such groups. Economically, disparities in oil wealth and fiscal strategies could lead to disagreements over resource sharing and governance structures. Furthermore, Bahrain’s internal unrest during the Arab Spring, coupled with Saudi Arabia’s intervention, highlighted sectarian tensions and exposed vulnerabilities within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) framework. These deep-seated differences would have made a union difficult to sustain, as cooperation required unity in areas where divergence was most pronounced.
@@rewriting-history He would simply have been spared the humiliation. And could have relieved the northern front later in the war. But I think the same learning would not have been done and a lot of resources would have been wasted.
Logically, it's The Persian Gulf. But to lose an arguement against the Persians is something I will never accept, hence, I declare that the Gulf is Arab, and will always be Arab.

Here are the reasons I stole from quora National Identity and Sovereignty: Each member state has its own distinct national identity, culture, and history. The desire to maintain sovereignty and control over domestic affairs is a significant barrier to unification. Political Systems: The GCC countries have different political systems, ranging from absolute monarchies to more democratic frameworks. These differences complicate the prospects for a unified governance structure. Economic Disparities: There are considerable economic differences among the member states, including variations in wealth, natural resources, and economic diversification. Merging economies could lead to tensions over resource distribution and economic management. Regional and Global Dynamics: The geopolitical landscape in the Middle East is complex, with various external influences and conflicts. Each GCC member has its own foreign policy priorities, which may not always align with those of its neighbors. Public Sentiment: Citizens in these countries may not support the idea of merging into a single nation. National pride and loyalty to one’s own country often outweigh the benefits of a larger political entity. Historical Context: The GCC was formed in response to specific regional security concerns, particularly the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War. While it has facilitated cooperation in various areas, the historical context does not favor complete unification. Lack of Political Will: While there have been discussions about deeper integration, there has been little political will among the leaders to pursue a full merger, as it could dilute their power and influence.
I think qatar would be less interested than oman. Though saudi arabia is invested in keeping qatari monarchy, they also embargoed them and consistently fight over qatars independent foriegn policy. Couple that with their shai sunni split.
what if the kurds became independent after the fall of the ottoman and became a kingdom and its king is Mahmud barzanji and as your a histroy pro kurdistan was a kingdom for 2 years in iraq
Gulf union would be formed by Saudi Arabia and the countries United Arab Emirates Oman Bahrain Yemem and Kuwait the could destroy Isis or islamic state of Iraq and Sirya in that time in 2011 the libyan regime of Muamar Gaddafi by rebels.
@rewriting-history Yeah I think otther people from different countries can understand your English pretty well I don't think It's necessary to have that
Saudi Arabian nationalist now smh
Last video I was a UAE nationalist, now I am a Saudi Nationalist, tomorrow I will be a French nationalist, then Czech nationalist
@@rewriting-historyYay ! Can't wait to see you as a French nationalist !
@@rewriting-history then Ukrainian and then Russian because why not?
@@rewriting-historywhen Indonesian nationalist?
@rewriting-history what about an Iraqi one lol 😆🔥 btw I love your vids👏🏻🔥
The more interesting thing would be "What if the balkans united and stopped being nationalist as hell." this comes from me, a serb
Only an threat of an neo-ottoman empire can unite balkan nations

Nisi Srbin, nego debil
@@rewriting-history Please add at least an alternate ending where Portugal joins. We, the western Balkans would appreciate it.
@@morgothal5424 Ah yes, Portugal the most balkan country 😂
Video idea: What if Afghanistan and Pakistan were BOTH taken over by the Taliban and made into one state?
RIP Women
rip women 🙏
Afghan taliban and the Pakistani Taliban are different organizations.
What if Sweden kept Finland after the Napoleonic wars?
You would need to have the Finnish War not kick off, which kicked off because the Swedes wouldn't obey the continental system. The rest is trivial
