The Saudi conquest of Hejaz, also known as the Second Hejaz–Nejd War, was a war between the Third Saudi State and the Kingdom of Hejaz from August 1924 to December 1925. It ended with the defeat of the Kingdom of Hejaz and the capture of Hejaz by Ibn Saud's forces, leading to its incorporation into the Third Saudi State. The conflict resulted in the collapse of the Hashemite rule in the region and the proclamation of Ibn Saud as King of Hejaz and the formation of the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd.
