Abdullah's entry into Transjordan
Abdullah's entry into Transjordan between 30 September 1920 until 2 March 1921, marked the beginning of the second period of Hashemite rule in Transjordan following a brief interregnum period.
Abdullah, the second son of Sharif Hussein, arrived from Hejaz by train in Ma'an in southern Transjordan on 21 November 1920 to redeem the Kingdom his brother had lost.[1] Transjordan then was in disarray; widely considered to be ungovernable with its dysfunctional local governments.[2] Abdullah then moved to Amman and, following agreement with Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill at the Cairo Conference, established the Emirate of Transjordan on 11 April 1921.[3]
