Kształtowanie brytyjskiego systemu imperialnego w Zatoce Perskiej po zakończeniu I wojny światowej
Shaping of the British imperial system in the Persian Gulf after the end of WWI

Summary/Abstract: The British Empire had tried to build its dominant position in the Persian Gulf from the second half of the 18th century. The region was seen as a key position for the security of the naval routs between Great Britain and the Indian Sub-Continent. During the 19th century, the British Empire managed, using the so-called Exclusive Treaties, to cease its control over the Arab sheikdoms of the Gulf. The Gulf ’s significance for the British Empire has risen in the eve of the Great War. After the end of WWI, Great Britain became a dominant power in the Middle East. This situation forced the British Empire to establish new rules of the political and imperial engagement in the Middle East. This process was finished in the end of the 1920s. The rules of the imperial policy towards this region that had been established that time were executed till the end of the 1940s.
