Sumario:In May 1913, Abdulaziz bin Abdelraman al Saud, the emir of Riyadh and a nominal vassal of the Ottoman Empire, attacked and expelled the Ottoman garrison of Al Hasa. The episode, which ended the effective presence of the Sublime Porte in the eastern Arabian Peninsula, has received little historiographical attention and has been subordinated to a more general advance of the British Empire in the region. Here we propose an alternative approach, which places at the center of the problem and its explanation of the characteristics of Istanbul's presence in these remote domains, and a constitutive element of the latter: her relations with her nominal vassals, the Saudis.
