Abstract

The importance of this research lies in Studying And Analyzing The Al-Masabilah Crisis And The Saudi Economic Blockade Imposed On Kuwait, Which Is One of The Most Complex Economic Crises In The History of Kuwaiti-Saudi Relations. The Problem of The Research Was Manifested In The Decision Taken By Ibn Saud To Prevent The Ra’aya From Engaging In Commercial Dealings With Kuwait Starting From 1920, And Continuing Until 1942. The Stated Goal of The Saudi Side Was To Obtain Fees As A Vehicle, While The Negotiations Between The Two Parties Showed A Saudi Desire To Demarcate The Borders And Control The Movement of Tribes In The Shared Border Areas. When Those Negotiations Did Not Achieve Tangible Results, Britain Found It Necessary To Intervene Directly In The Negotiations, And Used All Its Means To Pressure Both Parties To Reach Positive Results, Which Culminated In The Signing of Agreements Between Kuwait And The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia On April 20, 1942.
