1828 CE to 1971 CE

Oil revenues do not change traditional tribal ideas about leadership.

New money, however, increases the influence of area leaders by giving them more resources to distribute.

Because of oil exploration, tribal boundaries become clearer, and areas are defined more precisely.

Distinctions among tribes also became more evident.

A new sense of identity appears in gulf shaykhdoms and arouses a growing expectation that they should rule themselves.

To do this, shaykhs have to cut themselves off from British control and protection.
