History
Bahrain has been inhabited since very early ancient times. It has been proposed that Bahrain is the site of the Garden of Eden. Due to its location near the Persian Gulf this region has ruled by several world powers including the Babylonians, Greeks, and eventually Arabs. Oil was discovered in the area in 1932 and brought rapid development of the region. British influence begin to rise in the region until after World War II when residents rioted to protest their (and the Jewish settlers) presence in the area. The country was declared a kingdom in 2002 and was formally considered a state. -
