Well Qatar was a British protectorate not a crown colony, so Britain’s main role was to supply a garrison and/or provide officers for the emir’s troops, while also directing the country’s foreign policy. Becoming a protectorate was oftentimes a more favorable arrangement to a local ruler than remaining independent and potentially being vulnerable to full colonization (and thus possible deposition) by another power.
A surprisingly large amount of the British Empire was made up of 'protectorates"; ie, countries with their own rulers, who had to acknowledge British sovereignty, and let the British take care of defence and foreign affairs. Crown Colonies (ie, actual colonies, literal British territory) made up a perhaps surprisingly smaller amount than one might expect-about 40% to a half.
@@jonathanwebster7091 in other words colonising a country then saying they were told to recognise. More like white-washed historys and not saying the truth that it was brit that colonised Qatar. Hypocrite European folks.
@@rashiidabdallah1648 not exactly. It was more economic and practical to leave the native rulers in place, and simply rule through them, at least as a short-term solution. Divide and rule and all that. You pacify the elites by giving them a (subservient) position in power, so you can better rule everyone else. The Princely States is another example of where this policy worked hand in hand with the parts of India that were ruled directly. That doesn't excuse it (nor am I trying to), It was simply less hassle, less bureaucracy, less paperwork, less money expended, more efficient, and less manpower required in terms of armed forces, civil servants and administration to rule through local rulers than directly. Was it bad? Absolutely. And in a lot (but not all, this didn't happen in the Arab states, nor did it in the Malay ones) of examples, for example in what became Zimbabwe and Zambia, protectorates (non-direct rule) were established, and then actual colonies (ie, places where British people were actually settled) were put up in their place. In practice, most of the British Empire was run with a bit of both: to give just three examples; in Nigeria, the southern part was a colony (meaning it was settled by British people), the north was a protectorate (meaning the British ruled through local rulers). Gambia, where only the capital Banjul was a colony-the interior was again, ruled through local rulers. Aden (now the southern part of Yemen) was similar: again, only Aden and the immediate hinterland was a crown colony, the rest was governed through local Sultans. I absolutely think this was a cynical, though at the same time practical way of ruling territories, and I absolutely think that, had the British Empire actually lasted, most, if not all, of the protectorates would have have been converted to colonies eventually.

I just discovered your channel today when the UA-cam algorithms brought up one of your older videos. I have already watched a dozen and I just subscribed.

The British are masters at manipulating international diplomacy to their advantage. The British with their world class navy were able to exert their influence all over the world. Using the tried and true European strategy of divide and conquer the British enabled a bunch of tribal clans on the Arabian Peninsula to exist. The usefulness of fossil fuel has given these tiny tribal nations a chance to exist to this day. British double dealings seem to have shaped international politics of the Middle East.
The British didn't even need to divide them. The Arabs were already divided along tribal line. And not just Arabs either, but also Indians, Malays, Chinese, and even Britons and Europeans themselves. Imagine if the Europeans were united during that period, they would be nigh invincible. If UK, France, Germany, and Russia were united under single monarch/ruler/government, nobody could stop them.
The fact that Bhutan is a buffer much like Nepal, or what the previous two commenters said. I’d still watch a Look Back History video about Bhutan, though
Why do ordinary Qataris feel a sense of Qatari identity? Surely they should just feel like Arabs who’ve been denied the chance to unite with fellow Arabs by the Al-Thani’s disagreements with other Arab rulers
Yeah sure Qataris always had the sense to unite with others “Arabs” like for example Egypt in the 1700s or before right ? Most Arabs in the peninsula for example during the last 1000 year have not met anyone outside 100 km radios, this notion of “Arab” unity is manufactured one during the 1950s , Matter of fact Qataris of different Tribes weren’t United until the last 90 years why would you think that they can be United with random people thousands of miles away ?

I think u could go wild with one in a similar vein on any of the Levantine or Mesopotamian states, so much interesting history in the middle east that remains largely glossed over cuz of decades of *insert conflict* and the unshakeable orientalism of a lot of westerners
The 'protecting' was from other global powers. Obviously the euphemism covered protecting British interests but Qatar, the Trucial coast, Muscat and Oman and Kuwait were never seen in Britain as colonies nor did their Arab rulers ever see their lands as part of any empire, which explains Britain's relationship with these states post indepedence.
Minor correction, Qatar's south (From doha to the Abu Dhabi border) was controlled by the Bani Yas of Abu Dhabi, it was only given to Qatar after the Bahrani Qatari war which Abu Dhabi participated in and defended Bahrain's rightful claims to Qatar. Even after this war, Qatar continued agressions against Abu Dhabi, which caused the ruling family to burn Doha to the ground 4 times over.
It's interesting how much protecting the $$$ coming in from international trade forced empires like Britain to create states around the world that would keep order in a particular region as a service to that end.
I wonder what's wrong with an Arab Bismarck uniting the Arabian Peninsula & sharing the oil wealth; however, 1st the British & today the USA prevent it.
From the perspective of Britain, it was a matter of divide and rule. As for an Arab Bismarck, well that could certainly have brought about the unification of Arabia, but when it comes to sharing oil wealth... well, Bismarck wasn't really known for sharing.
Qatar is not a monarchy. It is an emirate or a state with a ruling family like Kuwait and the UAE. KSA and Bahrain are kingdoms with a monarchy and a king. Jordan is also a kingdom. Oman is a sultanate. A sultanate is similar to a kingdom. Ruling families govern Qatar, Kuwait and each emirate of the UAE, seven in total with an overall Emirati sheikh from the Al Nahyan family/tribe as the federation or state ruler.
Additionally, the Al Thani are not royal. Should they turn Qatar into a kingdom as the Al Khalifa did in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Qatar's ruling family could be considered 'royal'. Morocco and Oman are the only Arab countries with a centuries-old monarch. The King of Jordan's family are the Hashemite descendents of the deposed Sharif of Maidan Saleh, Mecca, Medina and the Hejaz whose lands were occupied and annexed by the warring factions of the Al Saud. Some consider the Saudi control of the Hejaz as an occupation. The Al Saud have destroyed ancient and historic Mecca and Medina and thus erased Hashemite history. Deplorable to demolish ancient Islamic heritage sites.
Both Emir and Sultan are royal Titels. Just not european royal titels. Far closer to european titles like duke or price. The grand duke Henri of Luxembourg and the Price Albert the second of Monaco are still the royal rulers of their country
Excellent video really enjoyed it but I have two comments: 1. Hakim/ruler in Arabic is pronounced ‘haakem’ not ‘hakeem’. In Arabic ‘Hakeem’ means wise, whereas ‘haakem’ means ruler. 2. Qatar did have land borders with two states, Saudi and also UAE. Then Saudi signed an agreement with UAE which meant that Qatar is now surrounded by Saudi Arabia.

Why are you hiding the fact that Bahrain itself was an Iranian province until 1972? Some consider Bahrain still an Iranian province that was separated by a manipulated referendum against the will of the Bahraini people.
who are u to say such things and promote hate and lawlessness in other countries. U don’t go to other cultures and insult their believes. If u feel mistreated then fk off
It is important to note that Qatar and Bahrain belonged to Persia/Iran which didn't have a strong navy to defend them against British ships. Therefore, Britain first seized these lands and later separated them in the age of anticolonialism by supporting the local Sheiks and Emirs. Bahrain for instance was still officially a part of Iran until 1970. That is why the Anglo-Persian company was operating there btw. From the Iranian point of view, those lands were provinces of Iran even though Britain was practically in charge of them.
@@rashiidabdallah1648 go read your history books. Bahrain was part of Iran during the Zand dynasty. During Qajars it was occupied by the brits and was never given back. Qatar together with UAE were a part of Iran during the Afsharid dynasty and were separated by Britain after the collapse of Afsharid rule (around 1700).

Interesting video. However, not very accurate, and there are much more events and details that shaped my beloved country “The State Of Qatar”… Regards🇶🇦

Why are you hiding the fact that Bahrain itself was an Iranian province until 1972? Some consider Bahrain still an Iranian province that was separated by a manipulated referendum against the will of the Bahraini people.
I have been asking this ever since of their treatment of LGBT community
you werent even born when homophobia was first expressed.
@@teriblesoldiertv2108 My previous soul does

It is important to note that Qatar and Bahrain belonged to Persia/Iran which didn't have a strong navy to defend them against British ships. Therefore, Britain first seized these lands and later separated them in the age of anticolonialism by supporting the local Sheiks and Emirs. Bahrain for instance was still officially a part of Iran until 1970. That is why the Anglo-Persian company was operating there btw. From the Iranian point of view, those lands were provinces of Iran even though Britain was practically in charge of them.
Qatar and bahrain never belonged to Iran
@@rashiidabdallah1648 go read your history books. Bahrain was part of Iran during the Zand dynasty. During Qajars it was occupied by the brits and was never given back. Qatar together with UAE were a part of Iran during the Afsharid dynasty and were separated by Britain after the collapse of Afsharid rule (around 1700).
@@Erfanh1995 why would we Qatari's want to be ruled by Shia Iranians, we're good thanks.
@@mbn9672 I did not claim that. I said you were part of Iran which is correct. Bahrain even had a seat in the Iranian House of Representatives before officially parting ways. But apparently, you are too busy with religion that you didn't have time to read the history.
Yea no- the “Qatar” state was and is a rebelling provenance of Abu Dhabi
😂😂😂
Not true. However, we are the first who modernized Dubai.
@ you can’t change history and it’s not wrong to admit that Qatar was part of Abu Dhabi
Why not!!
