The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), ,went through some political disturbances between 1927 and 1932, accompanied by local conflicts between tribes and the influence of external forces. Nonetheless, Al-Saud managed to build a strong foundation from which to rule.
The Rise of Saudi Arabia
The history of Saudi Arabia may be divided into three periods:
• Period One (1744-1818). During the early part of the 18th century, the country faced stiff political conflict which resumed until the first country was established by the efforts of Al-Imam Mohammad Bin Saud. However, the attacks of the Otmani nation, and the Egyptian ruler, Mohammad Ali Basha, led to its fall.
• Period Two (1824-1891). In addition to internal conflict between rival tribes, the Egyptian military made moves to remove the Saudi ruling family. Despite this, the country progressed through stable guidance and systems.
• Period Three (1902-present). Saudi Arabia becomes firmly established as the first new country in the region. King Abd Al-Aziz Bin Abd Al-Rahman bin Faisal Al Saud managed to establish a country which experienced unique commercial growth through the discovery of vast oil reserves.
• On September 19th, 1932, a royal decree declared the unity of the nation and called it the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
• Before exploring oil, the economy was dependent on commercial exporting, agriculture, and tourism (pilgrims who came to Mecca and Madina).
• The Saudi government gave “Standard Oil of California” an area of 495,900 square miles to extract oil. A few months after signing the contractencouraging results came out in the “jabal thahran” area. In 1938, enough oil was extracted to start a business. The first exports took place in May 1939 from the “Ras tanora” coast.
• The increase in oil prices in the mid 1970s propelled the KSA into one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. However, its basic social codes, cultural principles, and religious aspects remain the same to this day.
