1828 CE to 1971 CE

The final blow to Oman's economic and political viability comes after the death of Said ibn Sultan.

When the Al Said cannot agree on a successor, the British act.

They divide the Al Said holdings and give Oman proper to one of the claimants to the throne and award Omani possessions in East Africa to another.

Thus, after 1856 there are two Al Said rulers.

The one in Muscat, with a weakened merchant fleet and no East African revenues, is left with little support.

Because of the different centers of power, the country becomes popularly known as Muscat and Oman.
