Ahamad bin Yahya (1895-1962) was the former king of North Yemen from 1948 to 1962. Ahmad's rule was despotic, and far away from any form of real democracy. His main focus was on modernising the military. In international politics, Ahmad forged many bonds with communist regimes, like the Soviet Union and China. He also joined the union between Egypt and Syria, but this would only last 3 years. Closer to home, he worked for the creation of Greater Yemen, which would have involved the annexation of the British protectorate of Aden. 1895 was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ... 1962 was a common year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...
