Treaty of Seeb

1920 · 20th century · Also known as Agreement of Seeb

The Treaty of Seeb was an agreement concluded in 1920, through British mediation, between the Sultan of Muscat and the tribal leaders of the Ibadi Imamate of Oman in the interior. It ended the fighting that had begun with the imamate's rising in 1913 and left the interior largely self-governing. Its meaning was disputed in the 1950s, when the sultan reasserted control of the interior.
