Abstract

Asir is a strategic area that connects Yemen to the Hijaz. It was the ambitions of many nations that competed to control it, including the Ottoman Empire, and many campaigns were sent to the Asir region. Despite the Ottoman attempts that did not stop, the Asir region was able to resist these repeated campaigns and refused to surrender. The study sought to follow the Ottoman attack against Asir, the internal and external elements that contributed to its success, the causes of the Asir region's fall, and the involvement of local forces in the campaign's success and Ibn Ayedh's eradication.
