Britain's attempts to support its control over the Arabian Gulf between the two world wars

The book / Britain’s attempts to support its control over the Arabian Gulf between the two World Wars, by author / Abdullah Siraj Omar Mansi, offers a historical analysis focusing on British policies and tools of dominance in the region during the interwar period (1919-1939). The book studies the British administrative and military apparatus operating in the Gulf, and the strategic requirements London sought to secure. It also addresses the regional interactions and disputes that shaped the environment of this policy, such as British-Iranian negotiations over Bahrain and disputes over territorial waters, and examines how the British administration dealt with issues like anti-slavery efforts. The research relies on the British archive to provide a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of maintaining influence during a critical phase preceding major transformations in the mid-20th century.
