Wahhabi War - 3 Minute History

The video explores the rise of Wahhabism in the 18th century, initiated by Wahhab and supported by Muhammad bin Saud, leading to the formation of the first Saudi state. The expansion of Wahhabism into Ottoman territories, including the attack on Karbala, prompted a response from the Ottomans. Muhammad Ali of Egypt was tasked with reclaiming lost territories, leading to a series of military campaigns. Despite initial setbacks, Ali's forces eventually captured key cities, leading to the decline of the first Saudi state. However, the second Saudi state emerged shortly after, led by Turki bin Abdullah.
