|b The role of the Air Force in resolving conflicts and battles and consolidating division and occupation The) role of the separating the British Air Force in strengthening British protection and (protectorates of southern and northern Yemen in the battle of 1928 AD as a model under the influence of 1928-The Western Protectorate of Aden fell in the period between 1918 d War I, began to rearrange the status of international, regional and local conflict, as Britain, after Worl the region according to its colonial ambitions with the rest of the international powers competing with it, according to the treaties and agreements in peace conferences, including public and secret at resulted conferences that the end in the return of its influence and the spread of its protection in the ined between southwest of the Arabian Peninsula. The conflict over the Aden Protectorate was conf British protectionImamia historical rights, andthe .competition Italian The Yemeni-British conflict continued throughout that period, interspersed with peace discussions, which lead the leaders of the protectorates and Britain to confrontation with Imam Yahya throughout the period after the First World War until 1928 AD. All this was to protect the protectorates and their borders under the British guardianship and to get the Imam forces out of them . Sometimes they used political negotiations, exchanging delegations and missions, and other times they used military operations, but without reaching a significant result Finally, the battle was decided by the British Air Force and the Imam forces were expelled from it in the events of the battle of 1928 AD. Thus, that battle represented a turning point in the history of the protected areas adjacent to Aden in particular and the history of Yemen in general. Britain succeeded in imposing its protection on those areas and achieved its colonial goals in the areas of the nine districts and imposed a solution to its problem with Imam Yahya by means of its planes. It forced his forces to leave and return to the negotiating table. It also strengthened the confidence of the people and leaders of the protectorates in Britain. The people of northern Yemen and the ruling men around Imam Yahya were divided into sections. Several supported and encouraged the Imam in declaring the holy jihad against Britain. Another section kept the Imam’s policy and lurked about it in secret. The minority, however, preferred security and stability leaving the protectorates to Britain. There is the position of the Imam and his official government, which is represented in maintaining a formula that does not give up Yemeni rights in the protectorates or to make a truce with Britain. Thus, the front of Imam Yahya weakened politically and militarily in front of Britain, which returned to the scene with a stronger hold, taking the initiative and controlling the affairs of the negotiations later.
