This book examines how the rulers in the Persian Gulf responded to the British announcement of military withdrawal from the Gulf in 1968, ending 150 years of military supremacy in the region. The British system in the Gulf was accepted for more than a century not merely because the British were the dominant military power in the region. The balance of power mattered, but so did the framework within which the British exercised their power. The search for a new political framework, which began when the British announced withdrawal, was not simply a matter of which ruler would amass enough military power to fill the void left by the British: it was also a matter of the Gulf rulers – chiefly Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the ruling shaykhs of the lower Gulf – coming to a shared understanding of when and how the exercise of power would be viewed as legitimate. This book explores what shaped the rulers’ ideas and actions in the region as the British system came toan end, providing a much-needed political history of the region in the lead-up to the independence of the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar in 1971.

This open access book provides an in-depth exploration of the Arabian Gulf, explaining the pivotal role of conflict in shaping this geopolitically significant region over the past century. Understanding the historical context of conflicts in this region helps explain the major ongoing tensions between major players such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and external powers like the UK, the United States and more recently China. The narrative spans major historical events, from the two World Wars to the smaller conflicts of decolonization, and more recent conflicts such as the first and second Gulf Wars and the Hamas-Israel war. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of the intricate and enduring factors that perpetuate conflict in the Gulf, as well as how historical developments are intricately connected to contemporary events. Through this examination of what can be termed as ‘geostrategy’, it clarifies the strategic importance of the Gulf across time and assesses the broader ramifications of conflict in the Gulf for the Middle East region and the international system. In so doing, it also provides an insightful analysis of the region's complex mosaic of religious, ethnic, and political divisions, which reinforce and undermine the stability of this distinctive regional security complex. As such, it is of interest to historians, scholars engaged in global and regional security studies and policymakers seeking to comprehend the intricate dynamics of this critical region.
