Timeline

1798

Nevertheless, his petroleum-rich country also had long established ties with the United Kingdom, based on a 1798 Treaty of Friendship, and had been a British protectorate since 1891.

He also inherited an administration that was in debt.

Once he became Sultan, Said maintained a friendly relationship with the United States.

1910

Said bin Taimur (سعيد بن تيمور; 13 August 1910 – 19 October 1972) was the 13th Sultan of Muscat and Oman from 10 February 1932 until he was deposed on 23 July 1970 by his son Qaboos bin Said.

Said was born in 1910.

1922

He attended Mayo College at Ajmer in Rajputana, India, from 1922–1927 where he mastered English and Urdu.

1927

Upon his return to Muscat in May 1927, it was suggested he attend Beirut to further his education.

His father, Sultan Taimur bin Feisal, feared that by sending him to Beirut, he would be influenced by Christianity.

Said’s father was strongly against him learning the ways of the Western world and speaking English.

When Said was younger, his father found Sa’id and his brother Nadir possessing an English primer, and he ordered all their books be burned.

Instead of sending Said to Beirut, his father sent him to Baghdad to study Arabic literature and history for a year.

After completing his year-long study in Baghdad, Said participated in the Omani government upon his return home.

1929

He became the president of the Council of Ministers in August 1929.

Sultan Taimur’s inability to govern the state affairs of Oman created an opportunity for a new leader.

1932

He was a member of the House of Al Said who in 1932 became the Sultan of Muscat and Oman, succeeding his father Taimur bin Feisal who had abdicated for financial reasons.

The 21-year-old Said inherited an administration that was in debt.

He consolidated power, with the help of the British, and regained control of the tribal interior, bringing together Muscat and Oman.

Once the country was united, Said left the capital of Muscat and resided in a coastal town in Dhofar.

The British were very fond of Said and during February 1932, at the age of 21, Said became the new crowned Sultan.

Sultan Said inherited a country that was heavily in debt to Britain and British India.

In order to break away from Britain and maintain autonomy, his country needed to regain economic independence.

1933

Therefore, beginning in 1933, he controlled the budget of the state until being overthrown in 1970.

1936

In 1936, Said married his second wife, Mezoon al-Mashani (cousin of his first wife, Fatima) who in 1940 gave birth to Said's only son and heir Qaboos.

Said had three children

On his accession, he inherited the remains of the Omani Empire, which included the neighbouring provinces of Oman and Dhofar, as well as the last remnants of an overseas empire, including Gwadar in the Arabian Sea.

1938

In 1938, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt invited Said and his father to visit the United States.

Said landed in San Francisco and began a tour from California to Washington, D.C. During his visit to the White House, Roosevelt presented him with two books he had written.

Said toured the FBI Headquarters, and laid a wreath upon George Washington’s tomb, at Mount Vernon.

During World War II, the Sultan cooperated readily with the British; several Royal Air Force landing fields were constructed between Salalah in Dhofar and Mascat.

This allowed the channels of supply to remain open between Britain and the Allies.

Oil wealth would have allowed Said to modernize his country.

1951

Muscat and Oman became fully sovereign and independent states in 1951 with him as ruler.

He secured British recognition of its independence in 1951.

Nevertheless, he also faced serious internal opposition, from Imam Ghalib bin Ali, a religious leader of Oman, who claimed power in the sultanate for himself.

1955

The Imam's revolt in Jebel Akhdar was suppressed in 1955, with British help, but this in turn earned Said the animosity of Saudi Arabia, which supported the Imam, and of Egypt, which regarded British involvement in suppressing the revolt as not conducive to the cause of Arab nationalism.

1957

In 1957, these two countries supported a renewed revolt by the Imam, which was similarly suppressed by 1959.

1958

In 1958 Said sold Gwadar to Pakistan for $1 million, while in 1967 Britain returned the Khuriya Muriya Islands.

Said became more reclusive from his people and country.

1965

In 1965, after making concessions to export oil with Iraq, Iran and Britain, he did little to improve the life of his people.

1970

The benefits of this deal would not come to fruition until his was deposed in 1970 in a palace coup.
