The Trucial States (also called Trucial Oman) was the name given to a group of sheikhdoms in the Persian Gulf that had treaty relations with the United Kingdom from 1820 to 1971. These territories formed the United Arab Emirates after gaining independence. The term 'trucial' refers to the maritime truce (peace agreements) the sheikhs signed with Britain.
