Yemen
People’s Democratic Rerpublic (PDRY) - A former republic in south Arabia,
formed from the former British colony of Aden
and protectorate of South Arabia, Established
in 1967, when the Federation of South Arabia became independent from Great Britain.
Originally named the People's Republic of Southern Yemen, it was renamed the
People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1970.
South
Yemen maintained close ties with the Soviet Union and supported Marxist
guerrillas in northern Yemen
and in Oman.
Yemen Arab Republic
(YAR) - formerly a kingdom (Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen), from 1967 also
known as North Yemen.
When Turkey´s Ottoman Empire was dissolved in 1918, the Imam Yahya, leader of
the Zaidi community, was left in control.
Intermittent
fighting, beginning in early 1971, flared into open warfare between the two Yemens in October 1972, with the Yemen Arab
Republic (YAR) receiving aid from Saudi Arabia and the People´s Democratic
Republic of Yemen (PDRY) being supplied with Soviet arms.
A
cease-fire was arranged in the same month, under the auspices of the Arab
League, and soon afterwards both sides agreed to the union of the two Yemens
within 18 months. The union was not, however, implemented.
In
1990 the two states of Yemen
- Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) and the People´s Democratic Republic of Yemen
(PDRY) united to form the Republic of Yemen.

The
People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, Democratic Yemen, South Yemen or Yemen (Aden)
was a socialist republic in present-day southern and eastern Provinces of
Yemen.
British
interests in the area which would later become the People's Democratic Republic
of Yemen (PDRY) began to grow when on January 19, 1839, British East India
Company forces captured the port of Aden, to provide a coaling station for ships en route
to India.

Aden
was ruled as part of British India until 1937, when the city of Aden became the Colony of
Aden. The Aden hinterland and Hadhramaut to the
east formed the remainder of what would become South Yemen and was not
administered directly by Aden but were tied to Britain
by treaties of protection with local rulers of traditional polities that,
together, became known as the Aden Protectorate. Economic development was
largely centred in Aden,
and while the city flourished, the states of the Aden Protectorate stagnated.
In
1963, Aden and
much of the Protectorate were joined to form the Federation of South Arabia
with the remaining states that declined to join, mainly in Hadhramaut, forming
the Protectorate of South Arabia. Both of these polities were still tied to Britain
with promises of total independence in 1968.
Two
nationalist groups, the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen
(FLOSY) and the National Front, الجبهة
القوميّة (NF), began an armed struggle on 14
October 1963 against British control and, with the temporary closure of the Suez Canal in 1967, the British began to withdraw. Southern Yemen became independent as the
People's Republic of South Yemen
on 30 November 1967, and the NF consolidated its control in the country.
In
June 1969, a
radical Marxist wing of NF gained power and changed the country's name on 1
December 1970, to the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. In the PDRY, all
political parties were amalgamated into the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP), which
became the only legal party. The PDRY established close ties with the Soviet
Union, the People's Republic of China,
Cuba,
and radical Palestinians.
The
major communist powers assisted in the building of the PDRY's armed forces.
Strong support from Moscow resulted in Soviet
naval forces gaining access to naval facilities in South
Yemen.

Yemen Kingdom (Royalist Yemen) Stamps
(Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen)

The
Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen sometimes spelled Mutawakelite Kingdom of Yemen,
also known as the Kingdom of Yemen or (retrospectively) as North Yemen, was a country from 1918 to 1962 in the northern part
of what is now Yemen.
Its capital was at Taiz.

Religious
leaders of the Zaydi sect of Shi'ite Islam expelled forces of the Ottoman
Empire from what is now northern Yemen
by the middle of the 17th century but, within a century, the unity of Yemen was fractured due to the difficulty of
governing Yemen's
mountainous terrain. In 1849, the Ottoman Empire
occupied the coastal Tihamah region and pressured the Zaydi imam to sign a
treaty recognizing Ottoman suzerainty and that allowed for a small Ottoman
force to be stationed in Sanaa. However, the Ottomans were slow to gain control
over Yemen
and never managed to totally eliminate resistance from local Zaydis. In 1913,
shortly before World War I, the Ottoman Empire
was forced to formally cede some power to highland Zaydis.
On
30 October 1918, following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Imam Yahya
Muhammad of the al-Qasimi dynasty declared northern Yemen an independent state. In
1926, Imam Yahya declared himself king of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen,
becoming a temporal as well as a (Zaydi) spiritual leader, and won
international recognition for the state.
In
the 1920s Yahya had expanded Yemeni power to the north into southern Tihamah
and southern 'Asir but collided with the rising influence of the Sa'udi king of
Hejaz and Nejd, Abdul Aziz ibn Sa'ud. In the
early 1930s, Sa'udi forces retook much of these gains before withdrawing from
some of the area including the southern Tihamah city of Al Hudaydah. The present-day boundary with Saudi Arabia
was established by the 20 May 1934 Treaty of Taif. Yahya's non-recognition of
his kingdom's southern boundary with the British Aden Protectorate (later the
People's Democratic Republic of Yemen) that had been negotiated by his Ottoman
predecessors resulted in occasional clashes with the British.
Yemen
became a founding member of the Arab League in 1945 and the United Nations on
30 September 1947.
Imam
Yahya died during an unsuccessful coup attempt in 1948 and was succeeded by his
son Ahmad bin Yahya. His reign was marked by growing repression, renewed
friction with the United
Kingdom over the British presence in the
south that stood in the way of his aspirations for the creation of Greater
Yemen. In March 1955, a
coup by a group of officers and two of Ahmad's brothers briefly deposed the
king but was quickly suppressed.
Imam
Ahmad faced growing pressures to support the Arab nationalist objectives of
Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser and, in April 1956, he signed a mutual
defense pact with Egypt.
In 1958, Yemen joined the
United Arab Republic (Egypt
and Syria) in a loose
confederation known as the United Arab States but it was dissolved in September
1961 and relations between the United Arab Republic (Egypt)
and Yemen
subsequently deteriorated.
Ahmad
died in September 1962, and was succeeded by his son, the Crown Prince Muhammad
al-Badr. However Muhammad al-Badr's reign was brief. Egyptian-trained military
officers inspired by Nasser and led by the
commander of the royal guard Abdullah as-Sallal deposed him the same year of
his coronation, took control of Sanaa, and created the Yemen Arab Republic
(YAR). Egypt assisted the
YAR with troops and supplies to combat forces loyal to the Imamate, while Saudi Arabia and Jordan supported Badr's royalist
forces opposing the newly formed republic sparking the North Yemen Civil War.
Conflict continued periodically until 1967 when Egyptian troops were withdrawn.
By 1968, following a final royalist siege of Sanaa, most of the opposing
leaders reached a reconciliation; Saudi Arabia recognized the
Republic in 1970.
The
YAR united with the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen) on May
22, 1990 to form the Republic
of Yemen.

Yemen Arab Republic (Y.A.R.)
stamps

The
Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) also known as North
Yemen or Yemen
(Sanaa), was a country from 1962 to 1990 in the northern part of what is now Yemen.
Its capital was at Sanaa. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire,
northern Yemen
became an independent state as the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. On 27
September 1962, revolutionaries inspired by the Arab nationalist ideology of United Arab Republic (Egyptian) President Gamal Abdul
Nasser deposed the newly-crowned King Muhammad al-Badr, took control of Sanaa,
and established the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR). This coup d'état marked
the beginning of the North Yemen Civil War that pitted YAR troops assisted by
the United Arab Republic (Egypt) while Saudi Arabia and Jordan supported Badr's
royalist forces opposing the newly formed republic. Conflict continued
periodically until 1967 when Egyptian troops were withdrawn. By 1968, following
a final royalist siege of Sanaa, most of the opposing leaders reached a
reconciliation; Saudi Arabia
recognized the Republic in 1970.

Unlike
East and West Germany or
North and South Korea, the
YAR and its southern neighbour, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen
(PDRY), also known as South Yemen, remained
relatively friendly, though relations were often strained. In 1972 it was
declared unification would eventually occur. However, these plans were put on
hold in 1979, and war was only prevented by an Arab League intervention. The
goal of unity was reaffirmed by the northern and southern heads of state during
a summit meeting in Kuwait
in March 1979. What the PDRY government failed to tell the YAR government was
that it wished to be the dominant power in any unification, and left wing
rebels in North Yemen began
to receive extensive funding and arms from South Yemen.
