Created in the aftermath of World War I, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the only country named after its ruling family. Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud used British aid during the war to gain control of his homeland and increase his influence over the entire Arabian Peninsula. Dr. Brian Steed examines the House of Al Saud's rise to power and how it continues to leverage the nation as a major global economic and political force today.
What is the Pershing Lecture Series? Featuring distinguished lecturers and authors from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Department of Military History, the Museum and Memorial is proud to host the Pershing Lecture Series, which fosters understanding of World War I and its impact on the law, international policy and culture of today.
