1828 CE to 1971 CE
Various obstacles exist, however, to the creation of a Gulf "superstate."
The ruler of Bahrain especially and to a lesser degree the ruler of Qatar are not satisfied with the political and economic status that their countries would enjoy in such an arrangement.
They wish to have a preeminent position and therefore decide that independence is preferable to federation.
Accordingly, Bahrain declares its independence on August 15, 1971, and Qatar follows suit on September 3, 1971.
