Answers
The Trucial States The Trucial Coast As-Sāḥil al-Muhādin or Trucial States al-Mutaṣāliḥ; also
known as Trucial Coast, Trucial Oman, Trucial States of the Coast of Oman, and Trucial Sheikhdoms) was the name the British government gave to a group of tribal confederations in south-eastern Arabia which had been known as the "Pirate Coast". The name derived from the territories whose principal sheikhs had signed protective treaties (also known as truces, hence 'trucial') with the British government from 1820 until 1892. They remained an informal British protectorate until the treaties were revoked on 1 December 1971. The following day six of the sheikhdoms (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah) formed the United Arab Emirates; the seventh – Ras Al Khaimah – joined the Federation on 10 February 1972.
Answer:
From 1820 CE to 1853 CE the British signed treaties, called truces, with the rulers of each of the emirates. The truces gave British full access to the waterways around the Arabian Peninsula. The British promised to maintain security on the seas. The area now known as the United Arab Emirates was called the Trucial States or Trucial Oman because of the truces.
