Emirate of Nejd (Second Saudi State)
Also known as Second Saudi State
The Second Saudi State was founded by Turki bin Abdullah, who retook Riyadh after the Ottoman-Egyptian destruction of the Emirate of Diriyah. It controlled Nejd and parts of eastern Arabia, but civil war among the sons of Faisal bin Turki weakened it. The Rashidis of Jabal Shammar ended it in 1891.
