The period that followed the death of Imam Ahmed bin Said in 1783 a crucial period in the Omani modern history, since which appeared new political divergent political culture map and national, between Imamate system and sovereignty, and will the latter system is known later as the Sultanate.
After the death of Imam Ahmed bin Saeed, his fourth son Said was elected imam, and in any case the new leader was not a statesman as well as he had not since the days of his father's acceptable to a private Omani since his father entrusted with some official duties, and was one of the drawbacks him he gave great powers to his son Hamad represented in the coastal area where the governor was exercising authority as soon as belongs to the family Busaid.
In 1792, after nine years of his reign, revolted by his two brothers Qais and Sultan forced happy to waive the rule in favor of his son, Hamad, where he was a strong character, but Imam Saeed has not given up his title as the imam, but a waiver of political power to his son, Mr. Hamad, where he take its historic transfer of political capital to Muscat instead of Rustaq.
The impact of this historical and strategic decision on the subsequent development of the Omani history, it is a structural separation between the political system and religious system, also introduced new capital Muscat and the country's entire political, military and foreign cultural influence, the British, especially, was to Oman at the time two capitals, Nizwa, a traditional capital and religious center and spiritual inside, and Muscat commercial and political capital of the coast.
This was an era of inflection, where the reign of Ahmed bin Saeed did not take long since died in the same year in which the authority took over officially, and as a result of renewed power struggle between the official Imam Said brothers Qais Sultan, was happy tune in to regain control of the country while His brother Sultan strong his personality began to emerge as an alternative and efficient as a state.
A meeting between the heirs of the power of Said, Sultan and Qais happened in a Barka ports, this agreement attached to the division of Oman to three major centers, Vsaid official Imam remained in Rustaq while Sultan seized power in Muscat, measured near the Strait of Hormuz Sohar area and took the center of his power , and so the actual assistance to the British out of the Islamic State of Oman, which have been around for more than 1,500 years of political theater.
This agreement beginning of a new political and cultural history did not appear, but gradually to the traditions of the Imamate meant denial, Oman has lived a period of unrest and political and cultural shifts, and went out of Muscat that political and cultural form and a new strategy.
There is no doubt that there is a critical relationship between the geographical environment and the nature of the political system has crystallized this division gradually since before the coast in the open and began to clear it on the verge of greater openness as far as committed to the external conditions and reconcile the interests and the interests of new partners, while he was on the inside to suffer isolation Mutda at the same time the value of the province.
