now often times when we talk of the
Arabs the Arabs Revolt we think of two
tribes right we think of the first tribe
Al they were not the only ones there
were others in fact there were several
others but amongst the more
significant and the most you could say
uh notable tribes there were four of
them we're going to begin with the
earliest one so the sheriit of Mecca was
the ones they were in control of
and at some point of Medina SW then you
have the of Kuwait the alabah family
muak alah right very influential at that
time the Emirates of jabal Shamar or the
Rashid Dynasty and this man here his
name was I mentioned in the first
seminar Uhn
abdulaziz and he was the opponent to
abdulaziz right so they had the names
were just the other way around
ABD and
ABD uh was actually an ally of the
Ottomans whereas was an ally of the
British and when sa actually dies in
battle one of his wives becomes a wife
to and they have a child together his
name is Abdullah King Abdullah so
between the two of these men the
parallels are so amazing they took two
of the different positions in the war
and different ATS the Emirate of jabal
Shamar or the dynasty of the rashidi
clan okay the only of the only one who
was loyal to the Ottomans and never work
to the British in terms of alliances or
betrayal the only one unfortunately when
the otoman Empire goes down everyone
with them goes down as well so it
includes the rashidi clan they also go
down with the
ship uh and here you have the Young his
name is sa Abdul
aiz and his enemy his rival his Nemesis
is Abdul
aiz you can see the long braids here mhm
the desert braids right and uh the
ottoman uh dignitaries the gods or the
otoman um authorities who knows who this
man is
here def of the def of the right yes f f
f
b b yes so when people say the Arabs
betrayed you have to be fair as well
there was a clan known as the rash Clan
and they were with the timus at the very
end and their leader if you forget the
name just think of abdulaziz reverse it
and you got the name of the leader sa
abdulaziz he died his own relatives
killed him and uh he died a young man
effectively we never got to see his full
potential but he used to call the timans
the to help him against al yeah so he
used to call on the Ottomans to finance
him to help him now had they done that
adequately potentially he could have he
could have potentially counted the Ala
influence the Sham of Kuwait was an ally
to the Ottomans but again they were
effectively pushing boundaries and
stepping on the ottoman TOS so the utans
began to kind of not really treat them
favorably but didn't trust them as well
so they defected of the opportunity to
join the
British uh the only tribe amongst these
tribes who was loyal to the end was AR
Rashid the tribe the only tribe and Al
you could say was L to its cause it was
never an ally of the Ottomans never and
it remained that way until the British
came along and they took that bag and uh
although they're the youngest of all the
diales when we look at you could say you
take it back to the first uh Saudi state
is 1970 something
40 but the third state is 1921 so uh
it's one of the youngest ones and
they're the only ones when the war is
over these are the only ones who
actually are completely removed the rash
