Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Détail d'une carte britannique du début du XXe siècle illustrant la péninsule de Cheikh Saïd et l'île de Périm dans le détroit de Bab-el-Mandeb. La ligne pointillée partant de Husn Murad est la ligne de démarcation entre les zones ottomane (à gauche) et britannique dans le sud-ouest de la péninsule arabique tracée par la Commission de démarcation anglo-ottomane en 1904-1905.
En 1870, la maison Rabaud-Bazin de Marseille construisit un établissement commercial sur la rive de la mer Rouge entre Ras Cheikh Saïd et Khor Ghorera. En 1885, les Turcs construisirent un fort à Turba, qui allait être capturé et démoli par les Britanniques en novembre 1914.
English: Detail of a pre-WWI map showing Perim and the Bab-el-Mandeb Peninsula. The thick doted line, that starts at Husn Murad, is the boundary line demarcating Ottoman Yemen on the west from the Aden Protectorate (British) on the east that was agreed upon by the Anglo-Ottoman Boundary Commission in 1904. The mainland facing Perim was therefore Turkish and the British launched a attack on the Turkish fort of Turba in late 1914 soon after war was declared between Britain and Turkey.
