4 Political benefits of the British influence Although the British Government of India had established a strong hold over the Trucial Coast” primarily to rid British shipping from danger in the Gulf, this turned out to be very much to the advantage of the British towards the end of the 19th century, when the empire at its zenith was threatened by France and Russia agreeing to curb British influence in the Gulf. While France tried to wrest the Arab States from British influence, Russia concentrated mainly on Persia. As previously in Napoleonic times, Oman was again the object of an Anglo/French diplomatic race for influence and the British ex-perienced several set-backs.'” Not so with the Trucial States, where hardly a foreigner who was not a British subject had set foot ashore.” The Rulers were easily persuaded to sign an agreement similar to the one which was signed by Sultan Turki bin Faisal in Muscat in 1891. In this treaty, which was signed by the Rulers of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, ‘Ajman, Sharjah, Ra’s al Khaimah and Umm al Qaiwain between 6 and 8 March 1892, they agreed on behalf of themselves and their heirs and successors “not to enter into any agreement or correspondence with any Power other than the British Government”. They bound themselves not to let a representative of another government reside in their territory and on no account to “cede, sell, mortgage or otherwise give for occupation any part of [their] territory except to the British Government”.45 These agree-ments were ratified by the Viceroy of India and subsequently approved by Her Majesty’s Government in London.
