Wahhabis ; but the proceedings of the latter were less dangerous,
on account of their more limited and less organised resources and of their
ignorance of the politics of Europe, and were consequently regarded by
the British Government with equanimity though not with indifference.
In 1843 the Na'im of Baraimi were informed that Britain was not
concerned to support them against the Wahhabis as she had done against
the Egyptians. British influence was probably exerted, however, to
prevent a civil war in Bahrain (1842-45) from throwing that Shaikhdom
into the power of the Wahhabis; but in 1844 the Wahhabi Amir was
permitted to possess himself of Dammam on the mainland to the detriment
of Bahiain. In 1345 and 1853 British naval demonstrations were made
upon the Arabian coast and enabled the representatives of the Saiyid of
'Oman to obtain better terms from the agents of the Wahhabi Amir, who
were demanding increased tribute from Masqat and who seemed inclined
to proceed to extremities.
In 1861 it became necessary to restrain the Shaikh of Bahrain by
forcible means from aggressive action against te Wahhabi coast; and
advantage was taken of a semi-rupture which occurred between him and
Britain to compel the signature by him of a Convention, bringing Bahrain
within the circle of the petty Arab principalities which looked to Britain
foi protection against attack from without and for adjustment of maritime
disputes among themselves, and which were bound to abstain from
disturbing the peace at sea.
Frontier and other disputes between Turkey and Persia, and
European intervention, 1836-52.
Early in the period now under review the relations of Turkey and
Persia along their common border became exceedingly tense; and Britain
and Russia, as soon as their mutual distrust arising out of Persian and
Afghan affairs had been to some extent laid aside, took steps to avert
a violent collision which seemed to be threatened between the two Oriental
states.
Among the principal causes of difficulty were the undefined nature of
the frontier, a temporary occupation of Muhammareh by the Turks in
1837, a temporary occupation of Sulaimaniyah by the Persians in 1840,
tepiisals by the Turks in the direction of Ardilan in 1842, a massacre by
Turkish troops at Karbala in 1843 in which many Persians suffered, and
continued ill-treatment of Persian subjects and oppression of Persian
interests in Turkey.
