| | The process by which Yemen and the Yemeni people were divided into two countries began with the British seizure of Aden in 1839 and the reoccupation of <<b>bb>>Northb>bb>> Yemen by the Ottomans in 1849. | | | Yemen's critical response to the presence of foreign military forces massed in Saudi Arabia led the Saudi government to expel 850,000 Yemeni workers; the return of the workers and the loss of remittance payments produced widespread unemployment and economic upheaval, which led in turn to domestic political unrest. | | | Sana'a was declared the political capital of the Republic of Yemen, and Aden the economic capital. |
