1. Nom :<\/strong>\u00a0Le mot \"kuwait\" signifie \"fort\" en arabe. La ville de Kowe\u00eft a \u00e9t\u00e9 fond\u00e9e en 1613 dans la capitale actuelle, Kuwait City.<\/p>\n

2. Dur\u00e9e de vie :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Kowe\u00eft, ainsi que le pays arabe du Qatar et les nations insulaires du Pacifique de Tonga et Tuvalu, sont les seuls pays au monde o\u00f9 l'esp\u00e9rance de vie moyenne des femmes est inf\u00e9rieure \u00e0 celle des hommes.<\/p>\n

3. \u00celes :<\/strong>\u00a0Le golfe Persique compte 9 \u00eeles appartenant au Kowe\u00eft (Failaka, Bobiyan, Maskan, Warba, Ouha, Um AIMaradem, Um AI-Naml, Kubbar et Qarooh). Sur les 9 \u00eeles, une seule est habit\u00e9e : Failaka<\/p>\n

4. La gastronomie :<\/strong>\u00a0La cuisine kowe\u00eftienne est particuli\u00e8rement caract\u00e9ris\u00e9e par les fruits de mer (en raison de la situation c\u00f4ti\u00e8re de la ville de Kowe\u00eft), combin\u00e9s aux nombreuses \u00e9pices locales.<\/p>\n

5. Surcharge pond\u00e9rale :<\/strong>\u00a0Environ 42% de la population kowe\u00eftienne est ob\u00e8se, ce qui place le Kowe\u00eft au #10e rang des pays ayant la plus forte concentration d'adultes ob\u00e8ses dans leur population.<\/p>\n

Fait : Les temp\u00eates de sable sont un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne courant au Kowe\u00eft, en particulier pendant les mois d'\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. \u00c9mirat :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Kowe\u00eft est un \u00e9mirat dont le chef d'\u00c9tat est l'\u00e9mir (Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah), bien qu'il y ait \u00e9galement un premier ministre (Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah). Le pouvoir de l'\u00e9mir lui permet de gracier les condamn\u00e9s \u00e0 des peines de prison et m\u00eame \u00e0 la peine de mort. L'\u00e9mir est \u00e9galement le chef militaire supr\u00eame<\/p>\n

7. L'huile :<\/strong>\u00a0On estime que le Kowe\u00eft poss\u00e8de environ 10% des r\u00e9serves mondiales de p\u00e9trole sous terre. Le p\u00e9trole (et ses d\u00e9riv\u00e9s) repr\u00e9sente 90% des exportations du Kowe\u00eft et le p\u00e9trole rapporte environ 75% au gouvernement.<\/p>\n

8. L'histoire :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Kowe\u00eft a fait partie de l'Empire ottoman jusqu'\u00e0 la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale. Le Kowe\u00eft fait alors partie de l'Empire britannique. Ce n'est qu'en 1961 que le Kowe\u00eft a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9clar\u00e9 ind\u00e9pendant de la Grande-Bretagne<\/p>\n

9. La guerre du Golfe :<\/strong>\u00a0Le Kowe\u00eft a \u00e9t\u00e9 envahi et occup\u00e9 par l'Irak voisin en 1990. Cela faisait partie du plan du dictateur irakien Saddam Hussein pour s'assurer davantage de sources de p\u00e9trole. Les forces am\u00e9ricaines sont intervenues le 17 janvier 1991 et la guerre s'est termin\u00e9e le 28 f\u00e9vrier 1991.<\/p>\n

10. Incendies d'huile :<\/strong>\u00a0Lorsque les troupes irakiennes se sont retir\u00e9es au d\u00e9but de l'ann\u00e9e 1991, elles ont mis le feu \u00e0 de nombreux puits de p\u00e9trole, laissant de grandes parties de l'est et du sud-est du Kowe\u00eft inhabitables<\/p>\n
