  • South Yemen (Arabic: اليمن الجنوبي, al-Janub al-Yaman), formally known as the Democratic Republic of Yemen (جمهورية اليمن الديمقراطية, Jumhūrīyat al-Yaman ad-Dīmuqrāṭīyah), is a sovereign state located within the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. The nation is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, Oman to the east, North Yemen to the west, and maritime borders with Djibouti and Somalia to the south. The modern day nation began as a series of British colonies which have existed since the 19th century. South Yemen gained independence in 1967, establishing itself as a Communist state backed by the Soviet Union (the only Arab state to have done so). During the final years of the Cold War, South Yemen agreed to unify with the north to become the Republic of Yemen in 1990. Despite its mutual support by Northerners and Southerners, civil war broke out in 1994 at which time South Yemen was able to reachieve independence. Since the 1990s, South Yemen has emerged as a healthy democracy within the Middle East. The nation has remained economically, militarily, and politically tied with the Soviet Union (including the emulation of the USSR's reforms of the 1990s). The nation has used its oil wealth to help rebuild their aging infrastructure and remains one of the most developed nations in the Middle East. The nation was among the few Arab states to remain peaceful during the Arab Spring in the early 2010s, but border tensions have reemerged following the political uncertainty within North Yemen.
