	UAE: History; Present Day; H.H. Shaykh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahayan
		His father, Sheikh Sultan, was briefly Ruler between 1922 and 1926, and then, after a brief reign by an uncle, Sheikh Zayed's eldest brother, Sheikh Shakhbut, became Ruler at the beginning of 1928.
		The process was aided by a decision from the Al Nahyan family that their own private shares of the water supply should be turned over to the public, setting an example that others were swift to follow.
		Sheikh Zayed's own determination, powers of conciliation, and willingness to compromise for the common good were crucial in the eventual success of the negotiations, and when the federation of the United Arab Emirates was officially formed in 1971, Sheikh Zayed was the logical choice as the President of the new state.
