Oman adopted Islam in the 7th century A.D., during the lifetime of the prophet Muhammad.
Oman was the object of Franco-British rivalry throughout the 18th century.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the sultan in Muscat faced rebellion by members of the Ibadhi sect residing in the interior of Oman, centered around the town of Nizwa, who wanted to be ruled exclusively by their religious leader, the Imam of Oman.
