Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud    1875-1953

 

known in the Western world mononymously

as Ibn Saud

 

Arab political and religious leader

who founded Saudi Arabia – the third Saudi state –

and reigned as its first king from 23 September 1932

until his death in 1953.

 

He had ruled parts of the kingdom since 1902,

having previously been Emir, Sultan, and King of Nejd,

and King of Hejaz.

 

(...)

 

Petroleum was discovered in Saudi Arabia

in 1938 by SoCal,

after Ibn Saud granted a concession in 1933.

 

Through his advisers

St John Philby and Ameen Rihani,

Ibn Saud granted substantial authority

over Saudi oil fields to American oil companies

in 1944.

 

Beginning in 1915,

he signed a "friendship and cooperation" pact with Britain

to keep his militia in line and cease

any further attacks against their protectorates

for whom they were responsible.

 

(...)

 

 

Ibn Saud positioned Saudi Arabia

as neutral in World War II,

but was generally considered to favor the Allies.

 

However, in 1938,

when an attack on a main British pipeline

in the Kingdom of Iraq

was found to be connected

to the German Ambassador, Fritz Grobba,

Ibn Saud provided Grobba with refuge.

 

It was reported

that he had been disfavoring the British as of 1937.

In the last stage of the war,

Ibn Saud met significant political figures.

 

One of these meetings, which lasted for three days,

was with U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt

on 14 February 1945.

 

The meeting took place on board USS Quincy

in the Great Bitter Lake segment of the Suez Canal.

 

The meeting laid down the basis of the future relations

between the two countries.

 

The other meeting was

with British prime minister Winston Churchill

in the Grand Hotel du Lac

on the shores of the Fayyoun Oasis,

fifty miles south of Cairo, in February 1945.

 

Saudis report that the meeting heavily focused

on the Palestine problem

and was unproductive in terms of its outcomes,

in contrast to that with Roosevelt.

Saudi Arabia gains strategic importance

during World War II

 

 

Although Saudi Arabia

officially maintained neutrality

through most of the war,

the U.S. began to court the kingdom

as it realized the strategic importance

of Saudi oil reserves.

 

In 1943,

President Franklin Roosevelt made Saudi Arabia

eligible for Lend-Lease assistance

by declaring the defense of Saudi Arabia

of vital interest to the U.S.

 

In 1945,

King Abdel Aziz and President Roosevelt

cemented the tacit oil-for-security relationship

when they met aboard the USS Quincy

in the Suez Canal.

After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor

on Dec. 7, 1941,

the United States government

forced 120,000 Japanese-Americans

on the West Coast out of their homes

and into internment camps

for the duration of the war.

 

(...)

 

President Franklin D. Roosevelt

signed an executive order

in February 1942 [ On Feb. 19, 1942 ]

that made the relocation possible

by declaring certain parts of the West

to be military zones

In 1941,

President Franklin D. Roosevelt

promulgated Executive Order 8802,

which prohibited racial discrimination

in the employment of workers in defense industries

and established the Fair Employment Practices Commission

to implement the order.

 

Assailing the order,

Representative Jamie Whitten, a Mississippi segregationist,

complained that it would not so much prevent unfairness

as “discriminate in favor of the negro”

— this at a time when anti-Black discrimination

across the social landscape was blatant, rife and,

to a large extent, fully lawful.
