SEPTEMBER 3 rd .Until recently Qatar has celebrated its independence  on this day .Last week I read in the news that the government has changed its mind about it  and this date - gaining independence " is not celebrated anymore but  another date is chosen .
It was in 1916 that Qatar became  a British protectorate.Later in 1971  Britain left the region. 
Just some dates to show the road of Qatar  :Oil was discovered in 1939 ,and  oil production started only in 1949 .The first school of the country opened in 1952 and
first full hospital opened in 1959 .
