The British government concludes "protection and friendship"…

1840 CE to 1851 CE

The British government concludes "protection and friendship" treaties with nine tribes surrounding Aden, whereby they will remain independent from British interference in their affairs as long as they do not conclude treaties with foreigners (non-Arab colonial powers).

Aden is declared a free zone in 1850.

With emigrants from India, East Africa, and Southeast Asia, Aden grows into a world city.

In 1850, only nine hundred and eighty Arabs are registered as original inhabitants of the city.

The English presence in Aden pus them at odds with the Ottomans.

The Turks assert to the British that they hold sovereignty over the whole of Arabia, including Yemen as successor of Muhammad and the Chief of the Universal Caliphate.
