British action forces gulf leaders to decide.
Because of domestic financial concerns, Britain decides in the late 1960s to eliminate its military commitments east of Suez.
As a result, the gulf sheikhs hold a number of meetings to discuss independence.
Initially, leaders consider a state that will include all nine sheikhdoms; Qatar has even drawn up a constitution to this effect.
