From a nation of pearl divers and spice merchants to one of the world's largest oil exporters, Kuwait has come a long way in a very short time.  An Arab emirate that covers an area of 6,800 miles (20,000), Kuwait is located in the northeastern area of the Arabian Peninsula.  Oil was discovered in the 1930s.
