History Of United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates was formed by a group of organized Arabian Peninsula Sheikhdoms along the southern coast of the Persian gulf and gulf of Oman.
British Control
During the 16th century, the region was under British influence.
The U.A.E was know as the pirate coast because the shipping industry was raided, despite having British and Arab defences.
In 1819, the natives signed a treaty with the British to provide defence against pirates on the gulf of Oman.
British Treaties

In 1853, the British signed a new treaty with the native Arabs which outlined and documented a truce to stop fighting.
