What if the 1969 Saudi Arabian coup d'état succeeded?
In this alternate scenario, the coup d'état attempted by the Arabian Peninsula People's Union (APPU) against the Saud monarchy succeeded. The APPU received backing from the Soviet Union, Nasserist Egypt, Gaddafist Libya, and South Yemen to overthrow the Saud monarchy backed by the United States and its CIA, along with the United Kingdom, France, and Pahlavi Iran. The leader of the APPU, Nasser Al Saeed became the first President of the newly established Democratic Republic of The Arabian Peninsula. How do you guys think the successful coup would've affected the Cold War global landscape? Leave your thoughts down in the comments.
