Years: 1835 - 1835
The territory of the group of tribally-organized Arabian Peninsula sheikhdoms along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf and the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Oman has become known as the Pirate Coast, as raiders based there harass foreign shipping, although both European and Arab navies have patrolled the area from the seventeenth century into the nineteenth century.
Early British expeditions to protect the India trade from raiders at Ras al-Khaimah had led to campaigns against that headquarters and other harbors along the coast in 1819.
The next year, a general peace treaty had been signed to which all the principal shaikhs of the coast adhered.
An attempt by the Al Qasimi tribe to take over Dubai had been thwarted.
In 1833, the Al Maktoum dynasty of the Bani Yas tribe had left the settlement of Abu Dhabi and taken over the town of Dubai, "without resistance".
From this point forward, Dubai, an independent emirate from 1799, will be constantly at odds with the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
