Ibn Saud
Ibn Saud, also known as Abdulaziz Ibn Abdul Rahman Al Saud, was the founder of modern Saudi Arabia and served as its first king from 1932 until his death in 1953. His unification of the disparate tribes and regions of the Arabian Peninsula into a single kingdom marked a significant turning point in Middle Eastern history, leading to the establishment of Saudi Arabia as a major political and economic power. Ibn Saud's reign was characterized by efforts to modernize the country, align with Western powers, and exploit the vast oil reserves discovered in the region.
