Tlo historyczne | In 1782, the Al Khalifa family captured Bahrajn from the Persians. In order to secure these holdings, it entered into a series of treaties z the UK during the 19th century that made Bahrajn a British protectorate. The archipelago attained its independence w 1971. Bahrajn's small size and central location among Persian Gulf countries require it to play a delicate balancing act w foreign affairs among its larger neighbors. Facing declining oil reserves, Bahrajn has turned to petroleum processing and refining and has transformed itself into an international banking center. Sheikh HAMAD bin Isa Al Khalifa, who came to power w 1999, has pushed economic and political reforms and has worked to improve relations z the Shia community. In luty 2001, Bahrajni voters approved a referendum on the National Action Charter - the centerpiece of Sheikh HAMAD's political liberalization program. In luty 2002, Sheikh HAMAD pronounced Bahrajn a constitutional monarchy and changed his status from amir to king. In pazdziernik 2002, Bahrajnis elected members of the lower house of Bahrajn's reconstituted bicameral legislature, the National Assembly. |
