Years: 1921 - 1921
The British divide their West Asian mandate in two: east of the Jordan River becomes the Emirate of Transjordan, to be ruled by Abdullah, and west of the Jordan River becomes the Palestine Mandate.
Effectively, Turkish rule in Transjordan is simply replaced by British rule.
British Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Gerard Peake raises an internal police force, the Arab Legion, to keep order among Transjordanian tribes and to safeguard Transjordanian villagers from Bedouins.
