| | The present nation of Yemen was formed in 1990, when the Yemen Arab Republic (the former Yemen or Northern Yemen) and the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen (the former Southern Yemen) were unified. | | | Yemen is bordered on the north by Saudi Arabia, on the east by Oman, on the south by the Gulf of Aden, and on the west by the Red Sea. | | | One of the principal reasons for Southern Yemen’s merger with (Northern) Yemen in 1990 was the steady decline of its economy and the loss of Soviet political and economic support. |

| | 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 North 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. |
