Description

Kuwait, an Islamic constitutional monarchy in southwestern Asia, located at the northwestern tip of the Arabian Gulf. The country is bordered on the north and west by Iraq, on the south and west by Saudi Arabia and on the east by the Arabian Gulf. The capital is Kuwait city. For many years Kuwait was a small emirate whose economy centered on sea trade and especially pearl exports. The discovery of oil in the 20th century transformed all aspects of Kuwaiti society, and today the country has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.

Modern Kuwait began more than 300 years ago when the country emerged as an independent political entity under the rule of the present Al- Sabah family.

The earliest evidence of human presence in Kuwait is the existence of Mesolithic tools, dating from about 8,000 B.C. found in Burgan and Wafra. There are no signs of a later Neolithic culture in Kuwait. However, excavations on the Kuwaiti island of Failaka strongly suggest that Failaka was part of the Bronze Age Dilium civilization and a center of international trade between 2200 and 1800 B.C. The Battle of Chains was won by the Muslim warrior Khalid Ibn Al-Walid against Persians in the Name of Islam at Kathima on the north side of Kuwait Bay in 632. For a thousand years thereafter Kuwait was part of a nameless region. Then the seeds of nationhood were planted when ancestors of old Kuwait families arrived to establish their settled community.
