À propos de ce contenu audio

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Allies carved up the Middle East. This episode explores how the Emirate of Transjordan was created in 1921, with Abdullah I ibn Hussein as its ruler. We discuss the Cairo Conference, the role of T.E. Lawrence, the Mandate system, the construction of Amman as a capital, and the delicate balancing act between British imperial interests and the Hashemite dynasty's ambitions. We also examine the early years of state-building, including the formation of the Arab Legion, the challenge of tribal boundaries, and the 1928 Anglo-Transjordanian treaty that paved the way for independence. The episode highlights how a strategic British buffer zone became the foundation of modern Jordan.
