Which South Arabia
I have a National Geographic globe from 1965 which shows "South Arabia (UK)" as the entire southern coast of present-day Yemen. (Yemen, on this same globe, corresponds to
Yemen Arab Republic though isn't named as such.) The globe does not show a separate
Federation of South Arabia nor
Protectorate of South Arabia; rather "South Arabia" would encompass both territories, but not reach as far inland. It would also seem to correspond to
Aden Protectorate but, again, just along the coast – not the hinterlands. However,
Aden (city) would seem to be a separate entity from South Arabia, as it is labeled "Aden (UK)" (rather than simply "Aden") even though it is within South Arabia. I bring this up because it isn't clear (to me) whether the area depicted on the globe closely corresponds to an entity described on this page (or vice versa). --
