The treaty involved the sheikhs to not have a relationship with any foreign government instead of the United Kingdom, without its consent. To give back, the British agreed to protect the crucial coast from attacks or any possible danger. The treaty was soon ratified by the viceroy of India as well.

The ties between Britain and the Trucial States were formalized in 1820 as Britain offered protection in exchange for exclusivity: the emirs, accepting a truce brokered by Britain, pledged not to cede any land to ​any powers or make any treaties with anyone except Britain. The subservient relationship was to last a century and a half, until 1971.
