Overview

At the beginning of twentieth century, the Arab Gulf had witnessed a competition between the two super-powers, great Britain and Russia, to get colonies and master the region. A although Russia was the main rival to Britain in the Middle East, its objection centered around the Arab Gulf. This is due to its strategic geographical position to achieve its goals. Great Britain had been reinforcing its dominance over India. It was keen to build good relation with the Arab Gulf an which is very close to India in order to make the Arab Gulf and its neighbors as a boundary against any possible invasion of European powers to India. Thus, the Arab Gulf represent a main concern in the strategic defense policy of Britain since Lord Corzen from which this study is initiated. In that year the strategic and political issues had been dominating over many more before. As such, Britain had tried to make a well-built boundary with neighborly states to India against any possible invasion from the European states. From this point, the study follows the Britain policy towards the Arab Gulf, since Britain had tried to get Russia away from the dominance over the region and to master the Arab Gulf .boundary The main goal of sending the Russia warships to the Arab Gulf in the beginning of the twentieth century was to show the British and the public via raising the Russian flag in the Arab Gulf that it is the right of all nations to sail in the Arab Gulf. This is, of course, against the British end over to master the Gulf.
