Transjordan

This article is about the 20th century state. For the area that was known as Transjordan during the Crusades, please see Oultrejourdain"East Bank" redirects here. For other uses of the term, see East Bank (disambiguation). The Emirate of Transjordan was an autonomous political division of the Mandate for Palestine, created as an administrative entity in April 1921 before the Mandate came into effect in September 1923. It was geographically equivalent to 1942–1965 Kingdom of Jordan (slightly different from today's borders), and remained under the nominal auspices of the League of Nations and British supreme rule, until its independence in 1946.
