Kuwait

Kuwait | Kuwait Map

Located in the Middle East at the top of the Gulf, Kuwait is a small, oil-rich country enclosed by dominant neighbours - Saudi Arabia to the south, Iraq to the north and Iran to the east. From 1899 until its independence in 1961, the foreign relations and defence were under the control of Britain.

Though Kuwait sided with Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War, it was invaded and overrun by Iraq in 1990. The Iraqi forces were ousted by a massive US-led UN military campaign in the following year. Since then the AL-SABAH family has been ruling the country. Kuwait is the first Arab country in the Gulf to have an elected parliament which is now apparently wielding its power.
