Precisely for this reason, Qatar was always one of the poorest territories of the British Empire, a practically unpopulated place that barely provided shelter to small populations of fishermen and nomadic tribes. Today, however, things are very different: Qatar is the richest country in the world and its international influence has grown over the years. In this video we tell you how the change has occurred, the keys to it and also what the current situation is in a country that since June 2017 has faced a savage blockade by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
