Abstract

In 1956 Jordan entered a new era with the Jordan Arab Army after the period of the Great Arab revolt and the establishment of the Jordanian Hashemite Kingdom after the decision of Hussein to expel the British officer named Pasha Clob and the Arabization of the Arab Army leaderships The first Jordanian officer to lead the army was Radi Annab . The consequences of this historical decision had dimensions on Jordan’s future and its army. We get to know about the reactions of Washington, London or Moscow, but in Amman people were happy and congratulated the Hashemite leadership.
