The Saudi conquest of Hail, also known as the Third Saudi–Rashidi War or the Fall of Hail, was a conflict between the Third Saudi State and the Emirate of Jabal Shammar, led by its final Rashidi ruler, Muhammad bin Talal. The Saudi forces were led by Ibn Saud. On 2 November 1921, Rashidi resistance collapsed, and the ruler of Jabal Shammar surrendered to Saudi forces, marking the end of the last Ottoman ally in the Arabian Peninsula.
Aftermath
Following the surrender, Ibn Saud imprisoned Muhammad bin Talal and compelled him to divorce one of his wives, Noura bint Sibhan, whom Ibn Saud subsequently married. Ibn Saud later divorced Noura and went on to marry Jawaher, a daughter of Muhammad from another of his wives.
Naming
The Emirate of Jabal Shammar had its capital in the city of Hail, and was therefore also referred to as the "Emirate of Hail". The Saudi conquest of Hail is sometimes incorrectly identified as the Second Saudi–Rashidi War.
