Talk:History of Saudi Arabia

message: I learned that Saudi Arabia was founded by someone forcibly conquering smaller political entities one-by-one. As he went along, he would conquer a place and marry the ruling family's princess. He could have 4 wives at a time, then get rid of one to make room for the next one until the entire kingdom was unified. Anyone know if this is true? --Jon in California 23 June 2007
::Well that's an over-simplified account, but it's essentially true, at least in Nejd and the eastern province. Slacker 13:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Some aspects of this place are POV. I suggest someone takes a look at it. I have no time right now.
I'm modifying the multiple references to the "Iraqi war machine" to Iraqi military.
"Contrary to popular belief expenditure in defence doesn't boost long-term GDP growth (The Broken Window Fallacy)."
This is clearly not an NPOV statement, even replacing "parable" with "fallacy"
:Although I concur, I think this article needs to be completely revamped. If you find something to fix, fix it. - Eagleamn 19:55, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "By the Treaty of Jedda, signed on May 20, 1927, the United Kingdom recognized the independence of Abdul Aziz's realm (then known as the Kingdom of Hijaz and Nejd)."
Independence from what, exactly?
I can't find anything else in this article which describes the UK's former influence (or otherwise?) over what is now Saudi Arabia. 217.155.20.163 01:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; A slight bit more info can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Saud but it would provide context for the treaty with the brits Mulp 05:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Also see Captain_William_Shakespear and Battle_of_Jarrab, but yes I agree, could use a bit more info. The British influence perhaps even merits its own article as it was extensive and complex. Mrhawley 13:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What was the UK's role w.r.t. what is now Saudi Arabia? 

message: I think there is a long period missing here the first or second states of Al-Saud.
I agree. What happened between the first and second, and the second and third, Saudi reigns?

message: Copied from Talk:Geography of Saudi Arabia:
The article does not really cover the changes that took place in the course of 20th century. I think some historical maps can be found on the internet: for example, a German 'dead-tree' lexicon of 1971 shows rather different borders with (South-)Yemen and with Qatar/UAE (UAE still a neighbour of Qatar at that time).

thread_title:  Changing borders of Saudi arabia 

message: My primary question is, did the Great Powers recognise the First Saudi State, the Second Saudi State and the Emirate of Al Rashid? This should be clearly identified with a source added to this page as well as to the individual pages for those former states. The Emirate of Al Rashid should have its own page on Wikipedia and as of today it does not; there is only a page about the House of Al Rashid as there is one for the House of Saudi.
