Was Saudi Arabia any colony by European?

Answer 1

Saudi Arabia was never formally a colony of a European power, although various regions within its territory experienced foreign influence and control at different times. The Arabian Peninsula was primarily under the influence of the Ottoman Empire until the early 20th century. In the early 1900s, key areas, particularly in the Hejaz, were subject to British influence, especially during World War I. However, the modern state of Saudi Arabia was established in 1932 under King Abdulaziz Al Saud, marking its emergence as an independent nation.
