History and Entertainment
Kuwait is one of the youngest countries in the world. It was formed in the 18th century. The founders of the country are representatives of the Bedouin tribe coming to the territory of the present country from the shores of the Persian Gulf. The country was located at the crossroads of important trade routes that caused its rapid and successful development.
Kuwait quickly became one of the largest suppliers of coffee, spices and pearls in the world. Another important activity here was the breeding of thoroughbred horses. Since its formation, the new country was officially a part of the Ottoman Empire. For many years, it saw multiple wars between Turks and Britons for its territory. When the Ottoman Empire fell in 1899, Kuwait became a British protectorate.
