WHAT DOES KOWEIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Koweit

Kuwait

Kuwait, officially the State of Kuwait i/kuːˈweɪt/, is an Arab country in Western Asia. Situated in the northern edge of Eastern Arabia at the tip of the Persian Gulf, it shares borders with Iraq to the north and Saudi Arabia to the south. According to the CIA, Kuwait has a population of 2.6 million as of 2012. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Kuwait was a successful center of trade and commerce. Kuwait rivaled Basra as an entrepôt for trade between India and the Middle East. In the early 20th century, Kuwait declined in regional economic importance and by 1934, Kuwait had lost its prominence in long-distance trade. Kuwait's economy was devastated by several trade blockades; before these blockades Kuwait was prosperous. During World War I, the British Empire imposed a trade blockade against Kuwait because Kuwait's ruler supported the Ottoman Empire. Following the Kuwait–Najd War of 1919–1920, Saudi Arabia imposed a trade blockade against Kuwait for 14 years from 1923 until 1937. Kuwait's oil fields were discovered in 1937. In 1990, Kuwait was annexed by Iraq.
