Best Answer

The middle eastern country that was under British control until 1971 was the United Arab Emirates. At the time however it was not called the UAE, but 7 different countries:

  • Abu Dhabi,
  • Ajman,
  • Dubai,
  • Fujayrah,
  • Sharjah, and
  • Umm al-Qaywayn

These then formed the UAE and Sheikh Zayed Bin-Sultan Al Nuhayyan became president. He ruled until 2004 when he passed away and was succeeded by his son, Sheikh Khalifa.
