Kuwait |
|
A country of the northeast Arabian
Peninsula at the head of the Persian Gulf. Settled by Arab tribes in the
early 18th century, it became a British protectorate in 1897 and an
independent kingdom in 1961. Iraq invaded and occupied the country in
1990, sparking the Persian Gulf War (1991), which ended with Iraqi
troops being driven out by a coalition of Arab and Western forces. With
its major oil reserves, discovered in 1938, it has one of the highest
per capita incomes in the world.
