Trade in General, Slaves trade is just a single type of trade. They used to trade spices (especially cloves). Also, they trade other products like horses and woods 🪵.
@@sari8438 No, the salve trade was such a big part of the economy, they conquered Zanzibar and moved their capital there, in order to be more efficient. The slave trade didn't stop in Zanzibar until the British forced them to in 1896. Also known as the Anglo-Zanzibar war, or the shortest war in history, lasting around 38 minutes.
This is incorrect information and was only mentioned in the sources of their enemies, the Portuguese and the English. The Omanis had many sources of income, such as the trade in spices, incense, fruits, and salt. the Slaves were often bought from local tribes.

@@ZullyanThe largest slave traders in Arabia were the Abdali dynasty (Sultanate of Lahej and Aden) before the british, not the Omanis who intrest more in spices
I just read a story about the Imamate of Oman and its unfortunate eventual fall in the 20th century! Oman and its former empire have and incredibly rich history!
Oman, its Ibaadi type of Islam and its empire with its focus upon shuura accountability (7isba/mu7aasaba) is a fascinating piece of history and there are so many things to say about it that the possibilities for history here are pretty much endless. You made a good video about how this entity used its political position to challenge Portugal and to dominate locally because it played the game of sea war and politics between polities well and also the uproar that was caused by making the succession directly hereditary without due Shuura input. Good job.
No doubt you make an excellent point. I might understand it better if you would, please, expand a bit on the difference you make between "colonial" and "imperial". People use the words in many ways. Similarly, perhaps you use the word "culture" in a sense I don't recognize. By my reckoning, religion and language are cultural manifestations. Arabs changed most Persians from Zoroastrians into Moslems, and changed most North Africans from Christians also into Moslems. As a bonus, the Arabic language is now the norm in much of North Africa, which was not true before the conquest of the region by the Arabs. You may have a different feel for the word "culture", that excludes religion and language, but rather focuses on such things as cuisine or costume, and of course that is your prerogative. I would point out that our good host The Stoic Historian refers to the Portuguese control of Oman as colonial, though I doubt the Portuguese changed Omani culture even one whit. @@ziyadrgb9584
@@ziyadrgb9584 Lol ? They didn't change the culture of others ? They literally replaced the local populations of the middle east and northern africa...
@@ziyadrgb9584 the thing is oman never controlled an inch of somali. Oman used to pay tributes to the somali sultanates. They were saved from the Portuguese by the somalis. In short somalis were more superior advanced and civilized than arabs combined
The most important thing that should get mentioned here: it's economy was based on trading slaves.

Only Arab colonial empire? How about the middle east, north Africa, and Iberia?
You can't say colonial its imperial they didn't change the culture of others
