Why did the United Arab Emirates form?

Answer 1

The United Arab Emirates formed from seven different emirates. The country formed in 1971, after it became clear that Britain was no longer able to effectively administrate the emirates' affairs. As for why the emirates remained united as opposed to fissioning into separate states, the reason for the union was that the emirates could have a much larger diplomatic influence as a union than as individual states.
