  • The Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz was established after the Kingdom of Hejaz had been conquered by Sultanate of Nejd in 1925. On January 8, 1926, the Sultan of Nejd, Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, was crowned King of the Hejaz in the Grand Mosque of Mecca. On January 27, 1927 he raised Nejd to the status of a kingdom as well. At the Treaty of Jeddah on May 20, 1927, Abdul Aziz's realm was recognized by the United Kingdom and was addressed as the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz. For the next five years, Abdul Aziz administered the two parts of his dual kingdom as separate units. On September 23, 1932, the main Saudi dominions--Al-Hasa, Qatif, Nejd and Hejaz—were unified as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Wikipedia
