Introduction
North
and south Yemen were united into a single state - the Republic of
Yemen - on 22 May 1990. This replaced the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR)
in the north and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY) in
the south. The union was not immediately successful and disputes
broke out, leading to a war in 1994
which was won by the northern forces.
