Notes
Since its occupation of Aden in 1939, Britain has been keen not to intervene directly in the affairs of the south and not to be involved in its long-standing tribal disputes. However, political developments in the region have prompted it to abandon that policy. The return of the Ottomans to northern Yemen in 1972, and their attempt to control southern areas, led the British to conclude protection agreements with most of the leaders of the South. Imams, who succeeded the Turks in the north, forced them to establish local military units to repel their southern ambitions. The circumstances that followed World War II, which resulted in the loss of many British property, as well as the importance of Gulf Arab oil, led to more military interest in Aden, which in the mid-1960s became the most important British military base in the Middle East. However, the general conditions in the south on the one hand, and in Britain on the other, forced them to leave the south in November 1967.
