The Impact of the Yemen Revolution on British-Saudi Relations, 1962-1967

Abstract

Britain and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have maintained a strong alliance built on mutual interests since the mid-nineteenth century. Their relationship has gone through various stages influenced by ongoing events in the region and the two countries' positions on those events. When the Yemen Revolution broke out in 1962, it had an impact on that relationship.

This research aims to study the impact of the revolution on the relations between the two countries in order to understand their interests and concerns regarding the events' effects on their interests in the Arabian Peninsula. It also highlights the significant outcomes of the Yemeni revolution and its impact on the political, economic, and military relations between the two countries.
