The UAE’s History Near the end of the nineteenth century, the UK and the Trucial sheikdoms established close bonds in 1892 treaty. One of these bonds is that British promised to protect the Trucial Coast from all aggression by sea and to help in case of land attack. After the First World War, Japan invented the cultured pearl. Their invention destroyed our “ Natural Pearls“ that means they became worthless. This affected our economy and business. In the early 1960s, oil was discovered in Abu Dhabi. As a result, Sheikh Zayed undertook a massive construction program, building schools, housing, hospitals and roads. When Dubai’s oil exports commenced in 1969, Sheikh Rashid did the same thing to improve the quality of life of his people.
