Today, Arabistan is gaining a prominent importance in the Arab struggle aimed at complete emancipation from foreign domination, leading to unity of thought, purpose and destiny. And if Arabistan has lived for a relatively long period and is an independent emirate despite foreign pressures on it and the attempts of many powers to wrest its independence and strike its sovereignty, then it witnessed the struggle of those powers for the sake of seizing their wealth and the experiences of the Arab Gulf in general, and thus the future of the emirate became in the beginning of the twentieth century in the hands of the state. The first colonial era at that time was Britain, which sought to strengthen its influence and stand by the Persians to ensure that influence, so it was necessary to wrest the independence of Arabistan by resourcefulness and force and to annex Arabistan to Persia, although the difference between Arabistan and Iran is a difference of roots in every aspect. Today, the struggle of the people of Arabistan has reached a very important point thanks to the soldiers of the national liberation hero Saddam Hussein, who affirm the Arabness of the region not with a pen but with blood and a gun, as the whole world hears the voice of Arabistan with bullets. The research relied on the most important available sources, and if the documents on the topic were available, the research would be better. Therefore, it would be appropriate to prepare documents related to our modern and contemporary Arab history in the service of scientific research to reach the most accurate facts.
