Jordan Independence Day
Independence Day is celebrated in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 25th May each year, marking the date in 1946 when Britain granted independence to what was then called Transjordan.
Transjordan had been ruled as a semi-autonomous state by as-Sayyid Abdullah bin al-Husayn, whom the British had appointed as Emir in 1921. Upon independence, he was proclaimed King Abdullah I, also known as Abdullah the Founder.
King Abdullah I was assassinated in 1951 and was succeeded by his son King Talal, later removed due to mental illness. Because King Talal's son Hussein was too young to rule, a committee took over the business of government until he reached the age of majority in 1953, when he was crowned King, and ruled until his death in 1999.
The current ruler of Jordan is King Abdullah II, son of King Hussein.
