- Title:
- File 53/71 (D 90) Kuwait - Claims Against Nejd
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding claims for compensation made by the ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Aḥmad al-Jābir Āl Ṣabāḥ against Abdul Aziz ibn Abdulrahman ibn Faisal Al Saud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd (Ibn Saud)] the King of Hejaz, Nejd [Najd] and its Dependencies (King of Saudi Arabia after September 1932).
Detailed estimates of the size of the compensation owed are contained in the file, including losses arising from the trade blockade imposed on Kuwait by Ibn Saud, losses from raids into Kuwaiti territory and unpaid loans said to have been given by Shaikh Aḥmad to Ibn Saud. Some of the correspondence contains broader discussions regarding the status of Shaikh Aḥmad's relationship with Britain and Ibn Saud.
The file contains a limited number of translated copies of correspondence between Shaikh Aḥmad and Ibn Saud regarding this issue and an original letter from Shaikh Aḥmad to Trenchard Craven William Fowle, the British Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (f 86v).
