Notes
During the reign of Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah, the political relations between the Emirate of Kuwait and Najd passed through two stages. The first stage began in the year 1896 and ended in the year 1905. The political relations were clear and good, and both of them benefited from each other. Their interests were common against their enemy (Al Rashid), an ally of the Ottoman Empire. Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah supported Imam Abdul Rahman bin Saud and his son, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud, since the days of their refuge from Najd to Kuwait due to their dispute with Najd. Al Rashid, with everything he had, began to secure his international position due to the prominent position he enjoyed with the British thanks to the British protection treaty concluded between them in 1899, in addition to providing him with money and military experience, until he was able to conquer Riyadh, which was a prominent point in the history of Najd.
