In 1966, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was effectively removed from power in a quiet palace coup that paved the way for his younger brother Sheikh Zayed. This episode explores the political and economic tensions that led to Shakhbut's ousting: his resistance to modernization and oil wealth, his distrust of foreign oil companies, and his legendary miserliness that frustrated both the British and his own family. We examine the role of British political agent John Chauncy, the Murban oil discovery, and how Zayed's more pragmatic approach transformed Abu Dhabi. The episode also touches on the rumors of assassination plots and the careful orchestration of the handover. It's a story of clashing visions for the future of the emirate and the birth of modern UAE leadership. #SheikhShakhbut #SheikhZayed #AbuDhabi #UAEHistory #1966 #Murban #OilDiscovery #BritishPoliticalAgent #JohnChauncy #PalaceCoup #TrucialCoast #BaniYas #AlAin #LiwaOasis #Modernization #20thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
