How Jordan Became So Stable | Middle East History

Purchase shares in great masterpieces from artists like Pablo Picasso, Banksy, Andy Warhol, and more: https://www.masterworks.art/hikmahistory Jordan's recent history has been turbulent. Upon gaining its independence in the aftermath of WWII, Jordan was confronted by the prospect of a belligerent new neighbour in the shape of Israel. The Arab-Israeli conflict not only led to multiple wars, but it also led to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians becoming Jordanians, thereby forcing Jordan to re-evaluate what it meant to be a Jordanian. At the same time as it was figuring out who it was as a nation, the Hashemite monarchy had to guide the country through the tumultuous 1950s and 1960s which saw the Middle East get swept by the Pan-Arab socialist ideas of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Thanks in no small part to the diligence of its long-time ruler King Hussein, Jordan was able to carve a path out of chaos into stability. FREE NEWSLETTER: https://mailchi.mp/a69f93be6c66/hikma...
