Prior to the formation of the UAE, the Emirates were called The Trucial States - an assembly of independent Sheikhdoms - that formed a close bond with the British Government by signing a treaty in 1892. The Trucial States were not officially absorbed into the British Empire but they became a British Protectorate.
