British Telegraph Service in Arabian Gulf
by Naimah Salem Obaid Al Suwaidi
Description
Since the nineteenth century, telegraph service is one of the greatest modern technologies in the field of communication and was used on a large scale and in several fields. Between the stages of its inception in the region and difficulties and challenges, the author narrates the historical events that extended from 1864 to 1971 to extend the telegraph lines and the stages of its development. Despite the difficulties and challenges, the UAE succeeded, after the birth of the Union, in transforming the telegraph project, which was a means of British colonial control over the region, to use it to serve the UAE'S interests in the social, economic and political areas.
