| − | The [[Sheikhdom of Kuwait]] became a British protectorate in 1899 after an agreement was signed between Sheikh [[Mubarak Al-Sabah]] and the British government in India, due to severe threats to Kuwait's independence from the [[Ottoman Empire]]. The British government was represented by [[Political officer (British Empire)|Political Agents]] who were appointed by the [[Indian Political Service]] until 1948, then by the [[Foreign Office]]. In 1961 Kuwait became independent and the last political agent, [[John Richmond]], became the first British ambassador to Kuwait.
