Historical evolution of Jordan
Jordan was originally a part of Palestine (see Palestinian history). At the beginning of the 7th century, it belonged to the territory of the Arab Empire.

15 16 was occupied by Turks and belonged to Damascus province of Ottoman Empire.

1920, the San Remo Conference designated Palestine as the British Mandate. In July of the same year, the French army occupied Damascus. 1 1 year1October, Abdullah ibn Hussein, the second son of King Hussein of Han Zhiguo, led an army to Syria in an attempt to regain lost territory and station in Amman, thus becoming a powerful military force in the region.

192 1 year, Britain divided Palestine into two parts with the Jordan River as the boundary, the west was still called Palestine, and the eastern part established the Emirates of Jordan. Britain established a semi-autonomous Sultanate here, and made Abdullah I, the second son of King Hussein of Han Zhiguo, the chief of the Jordanian Emirates. Britain recognized Abdullah as the ruler of foreign Jordan, and Abdullah recognized Britain's appointed sovereignty.

From 65438 to 0923, Jordan became a semi-independent Emir under British trusteeship. Britain completely controls the politics and economy of Transjordan. The Arabian Legion in Jordan is commanded by the British, the expenses of the royal family are funded by the British government, and foreign affairs are the responsibility of the British governor.

1928, Britain forced foreign Jordan to accept the 20-year "British Covenant Agreement", which legalized British rule over foreign Jordan.

After the Second World War, the foreign Jordanian people's struggle against the British mandate developed rapidly. 1On March 22nd, 946, Outer Jordan signed the Treaty of London with Britain, abolishing the British Mandate. Britain recognizes the independence of Transjordan, but retains its political, economic and military privileges. On May 25th of the same year, Abdullah ascended the throne (1946 ~ 195 1 reigned) and was renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Outer Jordan.

As the London Treaty was opposed by the people, Britain and Jordan signed an alliance treaty in 1948. The treaty provides for the establishment of a joint defense Committee, and Britain has the right to station troops and use bases in Jordan. In May of the same year, the first Middle East War (Arab-Israeli War) broke out. During the war, foreign Jordanian troops occupied most of the West Bank of the Jordan River and about 4,800 square kilometers of land belonging to the old city of Jerusalem, which was allocated to the Palestinians according to the United Nations partition resolution 1947.

1950 In April, Jordan, a foreign country, announced that the region would be incorporated into its territory and renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

1951On July 20th, King Abdullah of Jordan was assassinated in Jerusalem, and Crown Prince Talal ibn Abdullah succeeded him.

1952 1 10 promulgated a new constitution, stipulating that legislation belongs to the parliament and the king. 1In August 1952, the Jordanian Parliament deposed Talal, who was pro-American, and made his eldest son hussein ibn talal king (1crowned on May 2, 1953). After Hussein succeeded to the throne, he took some reform measures at home and implemented an independent foreign policy.

In June 1956 1, driven by the people's movement, Hussein announced that Jordan refused to join any military group. At the beginning of March, he dismissed the Englishman J.B. Grubb as the chief of staff of the Jordanian Army and commander of the Arab Army.

1957 in March, the Jordanian government abolished the alliance treaty between Britain and Jordan. In July, all British troops withdrew from Jordan. Since then, Jordan has embarked on the road of independent development.

1958 In February, Jordan and Iraq formed the "Arab Federation". After the revolution broke out in Iraq in July of the same year, the Federation was dissolved.

Jordan supports the Palestinians against the establishment of Israel. It participated in the joint Arab war against Israel. After the Arab countries were defeated, Jordan gained control of the West Bank. 1967 Jordan fought against Israel with Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Israel occupied the West Bank and the whole of Jerusalem. After two wars, a large number of Palestinian refugees fled to Jordan. This has greatly increased the rights of Palestinians in Jordan. This increase in power made the royal family in Jordan very uneasy.

1970, after the Palestine Liberation Organization hijacked planes several times, Jordan began to fire at them. The battle affected the whole Arab society. Syria assembled tank troops on Jordan's northern border and put pressure on Jordan. 1On September 22nd, 970, under the mediation of the meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo, the two sides were deadlocked. But there have been small-scale battles since then.

1September 1970 to 197 1 July, an armed conflict broke out between the Jordanian army and Palestinian guerrillas stationed in Jordan. Jordan expelled the Palestine Liberation Organization from its territory.

1973 The fourth Middle East war broke out, and Jordan sent troops to Syria to participate in the war.

1977 established diplomatic relations with China on April 7.

1In July, 988, King Hussein announced the suspension of "legal and administrative ties" with the West Bank.

Jordan did not participate in the Gulf War of 199 1.

1994 10 10 In October, Jordan and Israel signed a peace treaty.

1On February 9, 1995, Jordan recovered about 340 square kilometers of land occupied by Israel.

Since 20 10, the Jordanian government has devoted itself to developing the national economy and made important achievements. Cultural and educational undertakings have made great progress, and people's living standards have gradually improved.

Since the turmoil in 20 1 1 West Asia and North Africa, a series of measures have been initiated, such as national dialogue, changing the cabinet, punishing corruption, amending some laws, and holding parliamentary elections in advance.
