History in Saudi Arabia

The History of Saudi Arabia  

There is a lot of history in Saudi Arabia but the most popular is the oil production or recognizing oil. The very start of the oil was 1938 that was a while ago. After many years in 1973 Saudi Arabia starts a boycott for oil against western countries. The boycott actually supported Israel in the October War. Then 8 years later Saudi Arabia cuts the bonds between Israel when they made peace with Egypt.

Not only did they have a history of oil but also golf. In 1981 Saudi Arabia becomes a founding member of the golf cooperation council. This was very different, but I think it is cool and very unique thing for Saudi Arabia to accomplish.

In 2005 the first ever nationwide municipal elections took place. With this I think it will be cool for the history, and municipal elections are different from other countries. Lastly with the elections it will also help the people and economy grow a little bit more along with the history.

In 2010, only 5 years ago Saudi Arabia bought $60 billion worth of weapons from the United States. With this purchase it shows how much money Saudi Arabia get from their oil productions, and maybe a few other little things. Lastly I think this shows how serious Saudi Arabia is with weapons and ,making sure they don't lose the fight against any other country.
