Qatar

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, is a country in the Middle East. Being geographically in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as having a majority Kebab population and large amounts of oil reserves, Qatar has the ability to join the Arab League, Gulf Cooperation Council, OIC, and OPEC. And like almost every other country, he has membership to the United Nations. It is rumored that Qatar uses immigrants as slaves to build his big projects.

History

Under an agreement with the United Kingdom, on 3 September 1971, the "special treaty arrangements" that were "inconsistent with full international responsibility as a sovereign and independent state" were terminated.

In 1991, Qatar played a significant role in the Gulf War, particularly during the Battle of Khafji in which Qatari tanks rolled through the streets of the town and provided fire support for Saudi Arabian National Guard units that were engaging Iraqi Army troops. Qatar allowed coalition troops from Canada to use the country as an airbase to launch aircraft on combat air patrol duty and also permitted air forces from the United States and France to operate in his territories.

In 1995, Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani seized control of the country from his father Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, with the support of the armed forces and cabinet, as well as neighbouring states and France. Under Emir Hamad, Qatar experienced a moderate degree of liberalization, including the launch of the Al Jazeera television station (1996), the endorsement of women's suffrage or right to vote in municipal elections (1999), drafting its first written constitution (2005) and inauguration of a Roman Catholic church (2008).

Qatar's economy and status as a regional power rapidly grew in the 2000s. According to the UN, the nation's economic growth, measured by GDP, was the fastest in the world during this decade. The basis of this growth lay in the exploitation of natural gas in the North Field during the 1990s. At the same time, the population tripled between 2001 and 2011, mostly from an influx of foreigners.

In 2003, Qatar hosted the U.S. Central Command and played a major role in the invasion of Iraq. Then in March 2005, a suicide bomber targeted the Doha Players Theatre, killing a British teacher and shocking the country, which hadn't seen anything like this before. The attacker, Omar Ahmed Abdullah Ali, an Egyptian living in Qatar, was linked to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Qatar's increasing influence, especially during the Arab Spring and his involvement in the 2011 Bahraini uprising, only worsened tensions with his neighbors — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain.

In 2010, Qatar won the right to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, making him the first country in the Middle East to be selected to host the tournament. The awarding increased further investment and developments within the nation during the 2010s.In June 2013, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani became the emir of Qatar after his father handed over power. Sheikh Tamim has prioritized improving the domestic welfare of citizens, which includes establishing advanced healthcare and education systems, and expanding the country's infrastructure in preparation for the hosting of the 2022 World Cup. Qatar hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup from 21 November to 18 December, becoming the first Arab and Muslim-majority country to do so, and the third Asian country to host it following the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
