أثر التنافس البريطاني الإيطالي في جنوب الجزيرة العربية على العلاقات السعودية اليمنية خلال الفترة (1932-1953 م.)‎

Abstract EN

The colonial nature in the whole world is to control the capabilities of the country, to preserve the division of the countries under their hands, and not to unify them in one country, or one national entity.

Therefore, colonial imperialism has emerged strongly in the region of the Arabian Peninsula, with the desire of the European colonial countries to deepen the divisions between the political entities present in the region, which is what Britain sought.

The southern region of Arabia, thus controlling the entrances to the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf from the east.

Italy has adopted the same method and approach as Britain as another colonial country in the region.

Yemen is for them an important and controlling state at the entrance to the Red Sea and the trade routes, and Yemen, with its northern and southern parts, is a strategic depth for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the competition between Italy and Britain had the worst impact on Saudi-Yemeni relations.

In addition to the emergence of other European powers in the Arabian Peninsula, this has led to a heated situation between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Relations between Saudi Arabia and Yemen since 1932 have been tense, sometimes punctuated by wars between the two parties, and sometimes friendship and cooperation treaties.

The situation between the two countries stabilized until 1953.
