  The seven Arab states of the Persian Gulf

The Arab states of the Persian Gulf (Arabic: دول الخليج الفارسي)[1] refers to a group of Arab states bordering the Persian Gulf. There are seven member states of the Arab League in the region: Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.[2][3][4] Yemen is bound to the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, based on history and culture.[5]

The term has been used in different contexts to refer to a number of Arab states in the Persian Gulf region. The prominent regional political union Gulf Cooperation Council includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.[6][7][8] In modern history, various former British Empire protectorates,[9][10][11] including the Trucial States were Arab states along the Persian Gulf.[12][13][14]

For the rulers of the Arab emirates of the Persian Gulf, Wilson's announcement signaled an end of British military protection, and the beginning of a process of negotiations that culminated in the establishment of the United Arab Emirates on December 3, 1971. An examination of the process by which the individual Persian Gulf states became a sovereign federation presents an opportunity to examine the roles of nationalism and anti-imperialism played in the establishment of the Union.
