الملخص EN

England worked to build its own power in order to compete with other global powers, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, which allowed it to emerge as an prominence nation in the sixteenth century AD and its entry as a rival to other European powers and compete with them in terms of geographic exploration that led to the start of the conduct of trade missions for the extension of control and influence globally, centered on the Americas, West, Africa and Asia.

England, as a party in its aspiration to the bounties of the East, they entered the region by sending its naval fleets to the archipelago of the Indies in order to compete with other European powers to acquire trade of spices and bounties of the East.

The ambitious English presence in the East led to the establishment of the English East India Company accompanied by a military presence with the aim of monopolizing the trade of spices and products of Asian countries in general, and then undertook to expand to new areas in the Far East of Asia such as India, and later on entering the Persian market, as well as the Arabian Gulf region where it was considered to be a good trading center, in which it expanded its relations with Persia by establishing trade and administrative centers in order to extend its control over the trade of the Arabian Gulf between Basra in the north and Muscat in the south.

In view of those aspirations and military presence in the East and Arab Gulf region, the British politics called for the exclusion of any competing force that could play the role of a competitor to it, its tight military and political presence led to its victory over the national expansions in Asia and the Arab Gulf region and it eventually surpassed it, but with the emergence of political and security obstacles that the English East India Company were going through led to the eventual demise of its star in the Asian and Arabian Gulf region and later on its demise of their influence.
