		Present-day Saudi Arabia is almost entirely the creation of King Ibn Saud who, after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, fought rival Arab rulers until, in 1926, he had established himself as the undisputed king of the Hejaz and sultan of Nejd.
		Ibn Saud died in November 1953 and was succeeded by the crown prince, Saud (1902–69).
		Saud was deposed in favour of Faisal in November 1964, and he took refuge for a time in Egypt, with which Saudi Arabia was by this time in direct conflict through the civil war in Yemen.

		One of the few reforms of Ibn Sa'ud was to declare it a duty for nomads to settle at desert wells, which made it easier for the ensuing state to control its inhabitants.

	Ibn Saud
		The Sa'uds ruled much of Arabia from 1780 to 1880; but, while Ibn Sa'ud was still an infant, his family, driven out by their rivals, the Rashids, became penniless exiles in Kuwait.
		Ibn Sa'ud was in fact a devoted puritan Muslim--to him the Qur`an was literally the word of God, and his life was regulated by it.
		Saudi Arabia took no part in the war, but toward its end the exploitation of oil was resumed.

	AMEU Printer Friendly version of 'The Day FDR Met Saudi Arabia's Ibn Saud'
		In strategic terms, Saudi Arabia, though never colonized, was in the British sphere of influence; the British were entrenched in Iraq, Bahrain, Oman and the trucial states on the Arab side of the gulf, as well as in Egypt and Palestine.
		At that time Saudi Arabia was paradoxically more isolated and poverty-stricken than ever because the outbreak of the war had shut off its oil exports only six months after they began in 1939, and had mostly halted the Mecca pilgrimage traffic that still represented the Kingdom's principal source of revenue.
		As the war dragged on, Saudi Arabia was experiencing serious food shortages, and CASOC increasingly urged Washington to provide assistance lest the king revoke the concession and give it to the British, who were providing him with financial assistance.

		THE two main aspirants to domination in the Arab world are personal enemies: Ibn Saud, who gave the oil concessions in his kingdom exclusively to American interests, and thus earned the animosity of the British; and Abdullah, whom he deprived of the throne at Mecca and who is a British-created, British-supported, and British-financed king.

		Saudi Arabia and Iraq in particular were enlisted by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el Husseini and his allies to pressure Britain to stop Jewish immigration to Palestine.
		The Saudis, not surprisingly, recommended as a "compromise" that the British accede to the demands of the Mufti, which included cessation of Jewish immigration to Palestine and amnesty for the Arab rioters.
		Saud's views are noteworthy, to the extent that they have been accurately reported by Dickson.

	A brief historical background of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Ibn Saud for A Foreign Policy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		During this time, Britain quietly supported Ibn Saud in a series of bloody conquests that in 1927 brought him recognition as King of Hejaj and Nejd, a title changed to King of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
		While the British used the title of “king” for the rulers they promoted for Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, the concept may have mystified the new subjects since the Arabic equivalent appears in the Quran only in reference to non-Muslim leaders.
		Following the discovery of the oil reserves of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia in 1938, the United States of America, with its growing commercial ties, took over Britain’s role as protector of the Saud dynasty.
