1921 Saudi military campaign

The Saudi conquest of Hail, also known as the Third Saudi–Rashidi War or the Fall of Hail, was a conflict in which the Nejdi forces supported by the British and allied Ikhwan tribesmen fought against the Emirate of Jabal Shammar under its final Rashidi ruler, Muhammad bin Talal Al Rashid. On 2 November 1921, the remaining Rashidi resistance collapsed, and the ruler of Jabal Shammar surrendered to the Nejdi forces.[1]

Aftermath

Following the surrender, Ibn Saud imprisoned Muhammad bin Talal and compelled him to divorce one of his wives, Noura bint Sibhan, whom Ibn Saud subsequently married.[2] Ibn Saud later divorced Noura[2] and went on to marry Jawaher, a daughter of Muhammad from another of his wives.[2]

Naming

The Emirate of Jabal Shammar had its capital in the city of Ha’il,[3] and was also known as the “Emirate of Ha’il”.[4] The Conquest of Ha’il is also often mistakenly labeled as the Second Saud-Rashidi War.
