| After capturing most of
the Arabian Peninsula |
00:00:45.545 - 00:00:48.446 |
| with the help of
the Wahhabi Islamic warriors, |
00:00:48.514 - 00:00:51.074 |
| Ibn Saud establishes
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. |
00:00:51.618 - 00:00:55.883 |
| The Wahhabis
were fiercely anti-Western. |
00:00:56.122 - 00:00:58.521 |
| They want to go back in time |
00:00:58.591 - 00:01:00.057 |
| to a pure Islam that wasn't
threatened by the West. |
00:01:00.126 - 00:01:03.562 |
| It was by chance
that we discovered oil. |
00:01:03.630 - 00:01:06.063 |
| We were looking for water. |
00:01:06.132 - 00:01:08.292 |
| Despite criticism
of foreign presence in the Kingdom, |
00:01:08.368 - 00:01:11.098 |
| the King allows commercial
oil production to begin. |
00:01:11.171 - 00:01:14.037 |
| The result is the first union |
00:01:14.273 - 00:01:16.673 |
| between Saudi Arabia
and the United States. |
00:01:16.743 - 00:01:19.734 |
| To accommodate the workforce |
00:01:20.580 - 00:01:21.841 |
| the first Western housing
compounds are created. |
00:01:21.914 - 00:01:24.678 |
| The strict Islamic laws
enforced outside of these walls |
00:01:24.751 - 00:01:27.777 |
| do not apply inside. |
00:01:27.853 - 00:01:29.343 |
| West and East came together in Egypt |
00:01:29.923 - 00:01:31.685 |
| when President Roosevelt
and Ibn Saud, King of Arabia... |
00:01:31.758 - 00:01:34.659 |
| They want America
present there in the kingdom |
00:01:34.727 - 00:01:38.663 |
| because we are their security. |
00:01:38.731 - 00:01:41.198 |
| The Saudi elite became notorious
big spenders and lost credibility |
00:01:41.267 - 00:01:45.828 |
