A very important treaty in the history of British imperialism, which show the pragmatic approach of the British in Arabia by signing this treaty, and also in the history of Arabia and Yemen. This treaty probably may have helped perticipate the war between Ibn Saud and the Imam. The Imam felt captured between two parties: the Saudis in the north and the British in the south. He neutralised his relationship with the British by this treaty of friendship and co-operation and although the negotations for this treaty took very long (from 1919 on), the result of the treaty was a temporarily calming down of events. The history shows that the major conflict between the Saudis and Yemenis became, however, inevitable. Neverwithstanding this is a very important artefact in the history of Britain, Saudi-Arabia and Yemen. This copy only contains the English text, but originally this treaty was published in a bilingual edition, the English and Arab text alternating.
In very good condition.
