The third in a new series, the Contemporary Archive of the Islamic
World (CAIW), this title draws on the resources of Cambridge-based
World of Information, which since 1975 has followed the politics
and economics of the region. Kuwait's documented history begins in
the mid-19th Century. Its location established it as an important
entrepot at the head of the Arabian Gulf. Notionally under Ottoman
rule, it became a de facto protectorate of Great Britain. The
discovery of oil changed Kuwait beyond recognition. It gained full
independence in 1971 and was long considered the most developed
state in the Gulf. Coveted by Iraq, it was invaded in 1990. It also
played a part in the2003 invasion of Iraq.
