Abdel Aziz Al Saoud
Abdel Aziz Al Saoud, also known as Ibn Saud, was the founder of modern Saudi Arabia and served as its first king from 1932 until his death in 1953. His reign marked the unification of the various tribes and regions of the Arabian Peninsula into a single nation. He was instrumental in establishing the Kingdom's relationship with the United States, particularly through the 1945 agreement that linked oil supply to security guarantees, a pivotal moment in the geopolitics of the Middle East. His legacy continues to influence Saudi Arabia's policies and its role in global energy markets.
