1954-1955 Dhabyani coup attempt
From Warlike
Q134190133
From 1954 to 1955 two princes of the house of Al Nahyan; Zayed and Diab, received Saudi backing to stage a coup to retake the throne of Abu Dhabi which their father, Saqr, lost in a coup in 1928. This came amidst significant tension between Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom over the future of the Trucial States, with the Saudi government hoping a friendly Abu Dhabi would cede the Buraimi Oasis, which they were attempting to take over. However, an international tribunal would find in favor of Abu Dhabi in the territorial dispute, with one of the terms of the ruling being the Saudi cessation of support for the plot.
