Oman: History, Power and Influence | Al Jazeera World

Показать описание
Tribes, wars, colonisation, empire, rebellion, independence and reconstruction - this is the compelling history of the Gulf state of Oman, from the 16th century to the present day.

Oman began as a trading nation but was then colonised by the Portuguese. Local Omani leaders later expelled the Europeans and went on to use their own powerful navy to build an empire that, at its peak, stretched from the Arabian Gulf halfway down the coast of East Africa. But the British then arrived in the region and used their own considerable naval power to gain control of the Gulf route to India.

The plot then thickened as Britain’s deals with the sheikhs on the northern coast caused them to separate from Oman itself - and ultimately led to these Trucial States forming the UAE a century later.

Oman played an important role in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and is sometimes known as "the Switzerland of the Gulf" because of its neutrality.

This documentary takes us up to the death of Sultan Qaboos in 2020, his succession by Sultan Haitham and the appointment of the new Crown Prince of Oman in January 2021.

للأصدقاء في عمان.
أنا ياباني أعيش في اليابان.
في 11 مارس 2011 ، وقع زلزال كبير في اليابان.
لقد مرت 10 سنوات وأنا أعلم اليوم.
أرسل شعب عمان الكثير من الأموال إلى اليابان.
شعرت بالحرج لعدم معرفة ذلك.
في نفس الوقت وقعت في حب بلد عمان.
أود أن أشكر الكثير من اليابانيين.
لا علاقة له بمحتوى الأخبار ، لكن لم أكن أعرف من أين أنقل هذا الشعور ، لذلك استعرت هذا المكان.
شكرا لك!

Oman never Colonised Somalia, but Somali Ajuuraan Empire and Oman sultanate allied to defeat the Portuguese and we succeeded in Most parts, we Somalis defeated Portuguese in Nugadisho and marka .

A quality historical documentary. I am Portuguese, and I have immense respect for the people of Oman, and the interventions of their historians.

I love Oman very much. I am originally from East Africa and was fortunate this summer to visit Fort Jesus in the coastal Mombasa where guides have given us the history of the Turkish conquest, the Portuguese invasion, the British empire and how the Oman Arabs who have enlisted the support of the Baluchi warriors from Pakistan have defeated this great empires who have enslaved the population . The remnants of the occupation is still present at the Fort including the body of one of the famous Portuguese general. My kids enjoyed the history and subsequent independence of Kenya.

The Sultanate of Oman is indeed a beautiful country. It is rich in unique history, wonderful nature and warm people. I was in the country when Sultan Qaboos died. The love for this late sultan was omnipresent. I wish the new sultan every success. I think it is important to maintain the neutrality of Oman. The country is located in a conflict-ridden region. This region needs a strong Oman.
