Medieval Qatar
Qatar was once ruled by the
powerful nation of Bahrain. Qatar was ruled as part of the sheikdom from the later
part of
the 18th century until the mid-19th century. In 1868 Qatar became an informal British
protectorate.
At this same time the Ottoman Empire dominated the sheiks of Qatar. In 1916
the Ottomans ceded power to the British
& Qatar became an official British protectorate.
