Background During the Arab Revolt, Hussein bin Ali, the Sharif of Mecca, cooperated with Britain in the World War I. He expanded the influence of the Hejaz and led a revolt against the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, Ibn Saud in Najd, ruler of the Emirate of Riyadh, grew resentful of Hussein because he was receiving British support and strengthening his power through them,Teitelbaum 2001, p. 28. which led to the first skirmishes between them.
In early 1910, Sharif Hussein demanded an annual payment of 900 Ottoman pounds from Ibn Saud, but Ibn Saud refused.Teitelbaum 2001, p. x.
