A Study of Su'udi Relations with Eastern Arabia and 'Uman (1800-1971)
Zamil Muhammad al-Rashid (Author)
"As a result of its military campaigns for religious and political reform during the latter half of the eighteenth century, the Su'udi principality at al-Dir'iyah developed into a powerful state. It first brought the districts of central Arabia under its control and later annexed the region of al-Hasa. With the turn of the nineteenth century, the Su'üdis commenced their relations with and eventual expansion into the territories of Eastern Arabia and 'Uman and, for many years, they were to play a dominant role in the social, religious and political affairs of those territories. This dissertation is an attempt to study the historical development of Su'üdi relations with Eastern Arabia and 'Uman and examine the motives of Su'üdi expansion, as well as the nature and extent of their influence, which continued until 1871. At that point, the Turks occupied al-Hasa, bringing about the elimination of Su'udi rule there and their eventual disappearance from Eastern Arabia and 'Uman."-- Author's abstract
