Jordan - The independence day

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - the independence day

On 25 May 1946, the United Nations approved the end of the British Mandate and recognized Transjordan as an independent sovereign kingdom. The Parliament of Transjordan proclaimed King Abdullah as the first King.

In 1949, prime minister Tewfik Abul Huda announced that the name of the kingdom had been changed in 1946 and was correctly "Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan." His official notice of 1 June 1949: It is to be remembered that the decision of the Houses of Parliament which was taken on May 25, 1946, and which declared the independence of this country said that the name of this Kingdom is the "Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan." The Jordan Constitution, published at the beginning of February, 1947, approved this decision.
