Keys to the Kingdom National Anthem The Office Jordan is a land steeped in history. It has been home to some of mankind's earliest settlements and villages, and relics of many of the world's great civilizations can still be seen today. As the crossroads of the Middle East, the lands of Jordan and Palestine have served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Thus, since the dawn of civilization, Jordan's geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east and west, north and south. Jordan continues to play this role today. Because of its centralized location, the land of Jordan is a geographic prize which changed hands many times throughout antiquity. Parts of Jordan were included in the dominions of ancient Iraq, including the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian and Mesopotamian Empires. From the west, Pharaonic Egypt extended its power and culture into Jordan, while the nomadic Nabateans built their empire in Jordan after migrating from the south of the Arabian peninsula. Finally, Jordan was incorporated into the classical civilizations of Greece, Rome and Persia, the relics of which are scattered across the Jordanian landscape. Since the mid-seventh century CE, the land of Jordan has remained almost continuously in the hands of various Arab and Islamic dynasties.

W66 Home Destinations About My World66 ... [Add Section] History in Jordan Edit This Jordan's location as a buffer zone between the settled region of the Mediterranean littoral west of the Jordan River and the major part of the desert to the east contributed significantly to the country's experience in ancient and more recent times. Until 1921 however Jordan had a history as a vaguely defined territory without a separate political identity. Its earlier history closely associated with the religions of Judaism Christianity and Islam therefore comes under the histories of the contending empires of which it often formed a part. By the time the area was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century the inhabitants of three general geographic regions had developed distinct loyalties. The villagers and town dwellers of Palestine west of the Jordan River were oriented to the major cities and ports of the coast. In the north of presentday Jordan scattered villagers and tribesmen associated themselves with Syria while the tribesmen of southern Jordan were oriented toward the Arabian Peninsula. Although most of the populace were Arab Muslims the integration of peoples with such differing backgrounds and regional characteristics hampered the creation of a cohesive society and state. In 1921 the Amirate of Transjordan was established under British patronage on the East Bank by the Hashimite (also seen as Hashemite) prince Abdullah ibn Hussein Al Hashimi who had been one of the principal figures of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Direct British administration was established in Palestine where Britain (in the Balfour Declaration of 1917) had pledged to implement the founding of a Jewish homeland.

10. FOCUS On JORDAN - History Jordan is a constitutional, hereditary monarchy based on the constitution of 1952. History of Jordan starts 100,000 years ago. http://www.focusmm.com/jordan/johist_1.htm

HISTORY of JORDAN A BRIEF LOOK AT THE JORDAN'S POLITICAL HISTORY A fter the Turkish defeat in World War I, the territory of Jordan became part of the short-lived Syrian kingdom of king Faisal I (later king of Iraq). After the French forces defeated Faisal in 1920, Transjordan was incorporated into Britain's League of Nations' mandate of Palestine. Transjordan was treated separately from Palestine, however, and its residents were assured that it would not be affected by the establishment of a Jewish homeland in the future. His majesty king Abdullah, Faisal's brother, was chosen to rule over Transjordan in 1921. He cooperated closely with the British, who helped create the Arab Legion, a small army later commanded by Sir John Glubb. In 1928 a treaty with Britain made Transjordan a constitutional monarchy. A second treaty with the British on Mar. 22, 1946, created the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. T ransjordan opposed the partition of Palestine and joined the other Arab League nations in fighting the new Israeli state in 1948. By the end of the war it occupied a section of West Bank territory designated for the Arabs in the United Nations partition plan. The country's name was changed to Jordan in 1949, and in 1950 it formally annexed the West Bank territory, including Old Jerusalem. H is majesty king Abdullah was assassinated in 1951, and a year later his son Talal stepped down in favor of Talal's son Hussein I. Hussein established greater independence from Britain, especially after 1956.

Keys to the Kingdom National Anthem The Office History The Making of Transjordan Although the Sykes-Picot Agreement was modified considerably in practice, it established a framework for the mandate system which was imposed in the years following the war. Near the end of 1918, the Hashemite Emir Faisal set up an independent government in Damascus. However, his demand at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference for independence throughout the Arab world was met with rejection from the colonial powers. In 1920 and for a brief duration, Faisal assumed the throne of Syria and his elder brother Abdullah was offered the crown of Iraq by the Iraqi representatives. However, the British government ignored the will of the Iraqi people. Shortly afterward, the newly-founded League of Nations awarded Britain the mandates over Transjordan, Palestine and Iraq. France was given the mandate over Syria and Lebanon, but had to take Damascus by force, removing King Faisal from the throne to which he had been elected by the General Syrian Congress in 1920. Emir Abdullah King Faisal II and his immediate family were all murdered in a bloody coup by Nasserist sympathizers led by Colonel Abdel Karim Qassem on July 14, 1958. The Hashemites suffered another major blow in 1925, when King Ali bin al-Hussein, the eldest brother of Abdullah and Faisal, lost the throne of the Kingdom of the Hijaz to Abdel Aziz bin Saud of Najd. The loss, which was brought about by a partnership between Ibn Saud and followers of the Wahhabi movement, led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and brought to an end over one thousand years of Hashemite rule in Mecca.

The armistice agreements of April 3, 1949 left Jordan in control of the West Bank and provided that the armistice demarcation lines were without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines. In 1950, the country was renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to include those portions of Palestine annexed by King Abdullah I. While recognizing Jordanian administration over the West Bank, the United States maintained the position that ultimate sovereignty was subject to future agreement. Jordan signed a mutual defense pact in May 1967 with Egypt, and it participated in the June 1967 war between Israel and the Arab states of Syria, Egypt, and Iraq. During the war, Israel gained control of the West Bank and all of Jerusalem. In 1988, Jordan renounced all claims to the West Bank but retained an administrative role pending a final settlement, and its 1994 treaty with Israel allowed for a continuing Jordanian role in Muslim holy places in Jerusalem. The U.S. Government considers the West Bank to be territory occupied by Israel and believes that its final status should be determined through direct negotiations among the parties concerned on the basis of UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.

KNOW YOUR HISTORY Soar through Michael Jordan's amazing career at History of Flight. Bulls vs Celtics (First Round - Game 2) - April 20, 1986 Coming off a foot fracture that sidelined him for most of the season, MJ scored a playoff record 63 points against Boston prompting his opponent to comment that his effort was nothing less than divine. Nike exceeded the efforts of other companies with a high-energy video presentation. But when MJ saw the sketches of the black and red Air Jordan I he commented, "I can't wear that shoe, those are Devil colors." "I did not want to go to the Nike meeting. I didn't know Nike. I didn't think I liked Nike." Though MJ was leaning towards another brand, his parents insisted he meet with Nike and its founder Phil Knight. Despite grumblings from the old guard, the trend-setting gold chains and tracksuit MJ rocked during his first slam-dunk contest were more than just swagger, "I thought I was doing Nike a favor. They had invested so much in me." The black and red Air Jordan I flipped the script on traditionally white basketball shoes and the league responded by banning them. However, Nike gladly paid the fine for the exposure generated by MJ during his spectacular rookie year. Bulls vs Jazz - Dec. 3, 1986
