Volume: 8 Issue: 4 2018

Abstract:

The 20th century decade witnessed a clear beginning of the relations between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Hijaz and Najd and its dependencies. King Abdul-Aziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud was looking for an American recognition of the kingdom as he saw the United States a power that could be used and established relations with it because it has no colonial past. In deed the Kingdom of Al-Hajaz and Najd and its dependencies were recognized in the fourth of May in 1931, which prompted King Abdul-Aziz to further strengthen his relations with the United States, when he granted a concession to oil exploration in his kingdom to Standard Oil of California Co. in 1933.
