What if the House of Saud, the current ruling family of Saudi Arabia, never came to power? For purposes of the scenario, let's say that Ibn Saud is killed before WWI breaks out, but the Arab Revokt still occurs.
What effect does this have on the Middle East? If the House of Saud never comes to power, would another family rise up to take its place? I will admit I'm ignorant in the subject, so feel free to correct me on anything that is wrong here.
