Abstract

This episode is about his Majesty King Hussein Talal's birth and his forty years of reign. The relationship between Hussein and his people is a relation of love because he applied one of the most successful policies in the world. Despite the small size of Jordan, the country’s ambition and its surroundings enable King Hussein to overcome difficulties. Hussein’s relationship with foreign countries is good especially with France. It was thanks to King Hussein and the president De Gaulle that the Hashemites settled in Jordan after the Great Arab revolt led by Sheriff Hussein Ben Ali.
