Interregnum (Transjordan)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Interregnum period in Transjordan, following ending of the Franco–Syrian war on 25 July 1920 and until Abdullah's entry into Transjordan between November 1920 and March 1921, was a short period during which Transjordan had no established ruler nor occupying power.[1]
During this period Transjordan became a no man's land[2] or, as Sir Herbert Samuel put it, "..left politically derelict".[3][4]

It was for a time no-man's-land. In the Ottoman regime the territory was attached to the Vilayet of Damascus; under the Military Administration it had been treated a part of the eastern occupied territory which was governed from Damascus; but it was now impossible that that subordination should continue, and its natural attachment was with Palestine. The territory was, indeed, included in the Mandated territory of Palestine, but difficult issues were involved as to application there of the clauses of the Mandate concerning the Jewish National Home. The undertakings given to the Arabs as to the autonomous Arab region included the territory. Lastly, His Majesty's Government were unwilling to embark on any definite commitment, and vetoed any entry into the territory by the troops. The Arabs were therefore left to work out their destiny."
