Historical evolution
On the Qatari Peninsula, local residents have maintained production activities for thousands of years, but for most of the early stages, they were only short-term residents of some nomadic tribes. Among them, the Caliph and Saud tribes swept across the entire Arabian Peninsula (later becoming kings of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia respectively) and settled along the coastline for fishing and pearl farming. These tribes often compete with each other for favorable oyster farms, causing the entire territory to divide, divide, and merge, without establishing unified sovereignty.
Qatar was a part of the Arab Empire in the 7th century.
In 1517, Portugal invaded. In 1555, it was incorporated into the territory of the Ottoman Empire and was ruled by Türkiye for more than 200 years.
In 1846, Sani bin Mohammed established the Emirate of Qatar.
In 1867, the caliph successfully landed the navy in Wokra and captured the rebels.
In 1882, Britain invaded and forced the Chief of Qatar to accept a servile treaty in 1916, making Qatar a protectorate of Britain.
In the 1950s, the call for Britain to abandon Arab countries in the Persian Gulf grew louder.
In 1968, British officials announced that they would relinquish (politically rather than economically) control of the Persian Gulf within three years, and subsequently Qatar joined Bahrain and seven other truce nations. But the opposition within Qatar was strong, forcing Qatar to break away from the alliance that ultimately developed into the United Arab Emirates.
In 1971, Qatar held its founding ceremony and officially became a sovereign and independent country.
On September 15, 2022 local time, Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of Qatar Khalid announced the new national emblem of the State of Qatar at the Qatar National Museum. The new national emblem consists of four major elements: the Arabian sword, palm tree, sea, and single masted sailboat, showcasing Qatar's traditional history and culture.
On March 7, 2023, Emir Tamim of Qatar appointed former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohamed as Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
