Anglo-Omani relations were defined by Whitehall’s intermittent contacts with Said bin Taymur (r. 1932 to 1970). Relations with the Sultan were heavily influenced by regional events including his long-standing aspiration to take control of the interior, the expansion of the Sultan’s influence in southeast Arabia, the demarcation of regional frontiers, and the quest for oil. Within Oman, the most significant development in the first half of the 1950s was the Sultan’s occupation of territory in the vicinity of Nizwa in December 1955 which resulted in the outbreak of an insurgency in 1957. The Foreign Office supported the gradual development of the Sultan’s armed forces which played a key role in allowing the Sultan to defeat the insurgents.

摘要

Anglo-Omani relations were defined by Whitehall’s intermittent contacts with Said bin Taymur (r. 1932 to 1970). Relations with the Sultan were heavily influenced by regional events including his long-standing aspiration to take control of the interior, the expansion of the Sultan’s influence in southeast Arabia, the demarcation of regional frontiers, and the quest for oil. Within Oman, the most significant development in the first half of the 1950s was the Sultan’s occupation of territory in the vicinity of Nizwa in December 1955 which resulted in the outbreak of an insurgency in 1957. The Foreign Office supported the gradual development of the Sultan’s armed forces which played a key role in allowing the Sultan to defeat the insurgents.
