Qatar–Bahrain Disputes in the Twentieth Century

The period between 1895 and 1939 was a period of relative lull in Bahrain-Qatar territorial disputes. Yet, territorial differences between the two states gained new twists and turns in the early decades of the twentieth century. The expanded territorial differences between Bahrain and Qatar in the twentieth century included the district of Zubarah as well as the islands of Hawar and the fashts or shoals of Dibal and Jaradah, and the seabed between the two states and their territorial waters.
