	Transjordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Emirate of Transjordan was an autonomous political division of the British Mandate of Palestine, created as an administrative entity in April 1921 before the Mandate came into effect.
		Under the Ottoman empire, Transjordan did not correspond precisely to a political division, though most of it belonged to the Vilayet of Syria and a small southern section came from the Vilayet of Hejaz.
		In March 1946, under the Treaty of London, Transjordan became a kingdom and on May 25, 1946, the parliament of Transjordan proclaimed the emir king, and formally changed the name of the country from the Emirate of Transjordan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan.

	Transjordan
		Corresponding geographically to today's Kingdom of Jordan, the Emirate of Transjordan was an autonomous political subdivision of the Middle East carved out of the former Ottoman Empire after World War I, and was administered by the British under the nominal auspices of the League of Nations until its independence in 1946.
		Previously a part of the territory covered by the planned League of Nations mandate for Palestine, Transjordan was created as a separate administrative entity on April 11, 1921 to provide a throne of sorts (albeit one under British control) for the Hashemite Emir Abdullah, elder son of Britain's wartime Arab ally Sharif Hussein of Mecca.
		Britain recognized Transjordan as a state on May 15, 1923 and gradually relinquished control, limiting its oversight to financial and foreign policy matters.

	The Making of Transjordan
		On May 15, 1923, Britain formally recognized the Emirate of Transjordan from Palestine and so reduced the area of any future Jewish national home in the region.
		The treaty stipulated that Transjordan would be prepared for independence under the general supervision of the British high commissioner in Jerusalem, and recognized Emir Abdullah as head of state.
		The period between the two world wars was one of consolidation and institutionalization in Transjordan, King Abdullah sought to build political unity by melding the disparate Bedouin tribes into a cohesive group capable of maintaining Arab rule in the face of increasing Western encroachment.

		Winston Churchill issued a white paper denying that the British government meant to give preferential treatment to Jews with a proviso for restricting Jewish immigration to conform with Palestine’s "absorptive capacity".
		Another action that seemed to violate the mandate was the creation of the Emirate of Transjordan, removing two-thirds of Palestine that lay east of the Jordan River from the area in which Jews could develop their national home, claiming the partition was only temporary.
		During the first civilian governor of Palestine, it looked as if Jewish-Arab differences would be resolved when more Jews emigrated out of Palestine than immigrated and with the presence of a complementary relationship among the two peoples, but the hopes dissipated during the 1929 "Wailing Wall Incident".

		There are two kingdoms: the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (formerly the Emirate of Transjordan) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, that part of Arabia ruled by the "Saudis" or House of Al-Saud.
		There are assorted "republics" -- the word "republic"in the Islamic world means not a "republic" in the Western democratic sense, but simply any regime that is not a monarchy, however despotic it may be: the Republic of Algeria, the Republic of Iraq (formerly the Arab Kingdom of Iraq).
		Had Saddam Hussein swallowed Kuwait in 1991, the emirate would have been digestible, for the differences between Kuwaiti Arabs and Iraqi Arabs are not cultural, religious, linguistic, but rather are based on the fact that Kuwaitis have known some political freedom, and the Iraqis none.
