 Hussein of Jordan Summary
The West Bank of the Jordan River and its Palestinian population were included in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan; hundreds of thousands of refugees from other parts of Palestine found their way to Jordan; and the state of Israel was created on Jordan's western border.
His son Crown Prince Hussein was proclaimed King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on August 11, 1952, at the age of 16, which was under the legal age, so he was enthroned one year later, on May 2, 1953.
While it saw Jordan remain one of the Western sanctuaries and protectorates in the Middle East, it was also marked by the events of Black September when the king ordered the violent expulsion of the Palestine Liberation Organization from the country.
