A proposito di questo titolo

 Episode 3 of The History of Saudi Arabia picks up after the Ikhwan's victories and dives into the pivotal 1925 siege of Jeddah. Lucas and Luna explore how Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, fresh from conquering the Hijaz, faced down a desperate Hashemite holdout in the Red Sea port city. They discuss the role of British gunboats, the diplomatic tightrope Abdulaziz walked with London, and the humanitarian crisis that unfolded as the city starved. The episode reveals how the siege broke the old order: the Hashemite Sheriff Hussein abdicated, his son Ali fled, and the Al Saud dynasty took control of Islam's holiest cities. Lucas also unpacks the controversial 'Jeddah Agreement' of 1926, which forced Abdulaziz to curb the Ikhwan's brutality and adopt a more modern, diplomatic approach — sowing the seeds of the 1929 rebellion. With vivid details of trench warfare in the desert, naval blockades, and the uneasy marriage of Wahhabi zeal with statecraft, this episode shows how the siege was not just a military victory but a turning point that defined modern Saudi Arabia.
