Yemen has a recorded history of over 3000 years and is one of the cradles of ancient civilizations in the Arab world. Starting from the 14th century BC, dynasties such as the Kingdom of Ma’in, Saba, and Himyaarit were established successively. In 575 AD, they were incorporated into the Persian Empire and became part of the Arab Empire in the 7th century. In the 9th century, the Rashid Dynasty was established. After the 16th century, they were successively invaded and occupied by Portugal, the Ottoman Empire, and Britain. In 1918, the Mutawakkilia Kingdom of Yemen was established. In 1934, Britain forced the Kingdom to recognize its occupation of southern Yemen, and Yemen was officially divided into North and South. In September 1962, the “Free Officers” organization led by Abdullah Salal launched a revolution, overthrew the Badr dynasty in the north, and established the Yemen Arab Republic. In 1967, South Yemen gained independence from British colonial rule and established the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen. On May 22, 1990, North and South Yemen declared unity and established the Republic of Yemen. [1]
