- Abstract
During the brief Syrian monarchy, Transjordan was nominally administered from Damascus. After decision made in Paris and San Remo, it fell nominally within the Palestine mandate, constituting a land bridge between British-ruled Palestine and Iraq. By early 1921 London had decided that the mostly desert territory east of the Jordan river should be - as a gesture to the wartime promises to the Arabs - exempted from the mandate's provisions concerning a Jewish National Home and that Amīr cAbdallāh, the son of King Husayn of al-Hijāz, should head a British-sponsored Transjordan administration. In late March, Winston Churchill, the newly appointed Colonial Secretary, travelled to Jerusalem, where he forged a deal with cAbdallāh and created Transjordan by a stroke of his pen.
