Abouzeidi Kingdom

The Abouzeidi Kingdom was a major Nusafi kingdom in Saharal prior to the Nusafi Wars. Prior to the Nusafi Revolution and the creation of the Nusafi Republic, it was the hegemonic power in North Saharal. The county was controlled by the Abouzeidi dynasty formed by King Abouzeid in the early modern period.

In addition to the primary territory of the Kingdom, the Abouzeidi kings exercised significant influence over surrounding states, particularly the Three Sultanates to their south. In the early modern period, they vied for control of the continent and surrounding with the region's other major powers including the Sultanate of Abumiya.

With the rise of the Nusafi Revolution in both Abumiya and other Nusafi states, the Nusafi Republic was created. In the Nusafi Revolutionary War, the Kingdom invaded the newly created Republic with support from other Nusafi states in an attempt to restore the power of the deposed sultans.

The conflict ended in a form of stalemate. The Abouzeidi Sultanate of Abumiya (known at the time as the Sultanate of Abumiya) was created from the border regions of the Kingdom and the new Republic and acted as a puppet state for the Kingdom.

Within a few decades, the Kingdom once again invaded the Nusafi Republic. Owing to the support of the Sultanate of Jazara, the Kingdom was successful and successfully restored an expanded Sultanate of Abumiya however the restoration was met with popular rebellion and eventually led to the Second Nusafi Revolution and the Abouzeidi-Nusafi War. The outcome of the latter was approximate return to the pre-war borders but with the Sultanate abolished entirely.

Despite the ongoing mutual threat perceived by the Kingdom and the Republic, the two states co-existed for many years during a period known as the Tuqarib (or rapprochement) even fighting together in the First Great War. Nonetheless the fall of the Kingdom would come with the Nusafi Wars.

With the threat of uprising in other Nusafi states, the Kingdom intervened. As a violation of the terms of the Tuqarib, General Yusuf- having consolidated power and public support within the Nusafi Republic- led a republican coalition throughout the conflict. Eventually the Abouzeidi king was deposed and the Nusafi Confederation was created.
