The country of Saudi Arabia as we know it today was only formed in the 20th century. But the embryo of the country can be traced back to the 18th century. In that period, a scholar named Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab established an alliance with Muhammad bin Saud, the ruler of a small emirate named Diriyah located in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula. Wahab made use of Saud's territory to teach his version of the Islamic understanding which today is known as the Wahabi school. Instead, Saud took advantage of Wahab's charisma to gain additional allies and followers.

Cooperation between the two then led to increased military strength Diriyah. Gradually, the area of ​​Diriyah continues to grow until it covers almost the entire Arabian Peninsula, not least the city of Mecca & Medina is located in the west. It was reaping a sense of dislike of the Ottoman Empire as the early ruler of the 2 cities.

The Ottomans are also worried that another region belonging to the Ottomans located in West Asia will also be annexed by Diriyah.
