History from 1258-19222

Starting in 1269 the entire region was overthrown by Egypt. Then throughout the 15th century the Saud dynasty founded the region. In 1517 the Ottoman Empire gains control of the region and when Egypt was conquered then only parts of Saudi Arabia were held under control. In the mid-18th century Mecca was overthrown by the Wahhabis and soon after the Wahhabis were driven out of Mecca by it's people. So by then the Wahhabis and now some Saudis began to slowly reconquer the territory of Riyadah. Then in 1865 the civil war breaks out which leaves Arabia and the Ottoman Empire divided as the dynasty fell apart. Then in 1906 the Saudis re-gain control over Najad.
