Kuwait

Kuwait is a small country (with an area of around 18,000 square kilometers) located northeast of the Persian Gulf. It shares borders with Iraq (to the north and northwest), Saudi Arabia (to the south and southwest), and to the east, a sea border with Iran through the Persian Gulf. The population is around 4.5 million.

In 1899, the prince of Kuwait signed the Anglo-Kuwaiti Treaty with the British government. As a result, Kuwait was under the protection of the British Empire until independence in 1961. After independence, the cultural renaissance of the state began. In 1962, the constitution of the country was created and as of 2018 is still in effect without changes.
