The discovery of oil in Persia (modern-day Iran) in the early 20th century shifted the balance of power in the region, as foreign interests, particularly from Britain and later the United States, began to dominate the oil industry. This foreign control often undermined local governance and weakened the authority of existing Muslim states, leading to political instability. Additionally, the influx of wealth from oil exports sometimes exacerbated internal divisions, contributing to social unrest and the decline of traditional power structures. Ultimately, the focus on oil economics shifted priorities away from traditional governance, hastening the decline of these states.
