The Exclusive Agreement: Trucial States become de facto British protectorates

Rulers of six Trucial sheikhdoms signed the Exclusive Agreement between 6 and 8 March 1892, establishing exclusive British relations.

The agreement bound the rulers to avoid correspondence with any power other than Britain. It prohibited foreign agents and territorial concessions without British consent, effectively cementing the protectorate status.
