Main Article Content
Abstract
The study dealt with a significant historical topic: Britain’s relations with the Idrisis in Tihama Asir from 1915 to 1926. It showed the features and objectives of this relationship. The study described and analyzed the reasons for Britain’s persistent efforts to secure its maritime communications line in the Red Sea, as well as placing obstacles in the way of the Ottoman Empire to prevent it from threatening British influence in Aden. Therefore, it resorted to allying itself with the Idrisis in Tihama Asir. For this purpose, it concluded several treaties with them and provided various financial and military support. As for the Idrisids, their ultimate goal was to provide money, weapons, and military support for their emirate to ensure its continuity and prevent it from falling into the hands of their opponents.
