Explanation

The statement that Bahrain was a protectorate of the USA is NOT true. Bahrain was a British protectorate, not American. The USA has never had a protectorate status over Bahrain. The other statements are true: Bahrain consists of 33 islands, gained independence in 1971, and was the first Gulf country to discover oil (1932).
