As a result of its military campaigns for religious and political reform during the latter half of the eighteenth century, the Su'udi principality at al-Dir'iyah developed into a powerful state. It first brought the districts of central Arabia under its control and later annexed the region of al-Hasa. With the turn of the nineteenth century, the Su'üdis commenced their relations with and eventual expansion into the territories of Eastern Arabia and 'Uman and, for many years, they were to play a dominant role in the social, religious and political affairs of those territories. This dissertation is an attempt to study the historical development of Su'üdi relations with Eastern Arabia and 'Uman and examine the motives of Su'üdi expansion, as well as the nature and extent of their influence, which continued until 1871. At that point, the Turks occupied al-Hasa, bringing about the elimination of Su'udi rule there and their eventual disappearance from Eastern Arabia and 'Uman. / Pendant la deuxieme moitie du dix-huitième siècle, la principauté Su'üdite de al-Dir'iyah devint un état puissant à la suite de ses campagnes militaires en faveur de la réforme religieuse et politique. Elle attira d'abord l'Arabie Centrale dans son orbite, pour ensuite annexer la région d'al-Hasa. Au début du dix-neuvième siècle, les Su'üdis entrent en relation avec l'Arabie Orientale et le 'Uman, où ils devaient jouer pendant de nombreuses années un rôle dominant dans la vie sociale, religieuse et politique. Ce memoire tente d'examiner le développement historique des relations Su'üdites avec l'Arabie Orientale et le 'Uman et relève les mobiles de l'expansion Su'ûdite ainsi que la nature et l'étendue de leur influence, qui dura jusqu'en 1871. A cette date, les Turcs occupèrent al-Hasa, éteignant le règne Su'ùdi et entraînant leur éventuelle disparition de l'Arabie Orientale et du 'Uman.
