Why did the british govermet create the independent nation of transjordan in 1921?
The British government created the independent nation of Transjordan in 1921 as part of its mandate over former Ottoman territories after World War I. The establishment aimed to address the conflicting national aspirations of Jews and Arabs in the region, particularly in Palestine. By designating Transjordan as a separate entity under the leadership of Emir Abdullah, the British sought to create a buffer zone and stabilize the area while maintaining control over both Jordan and Palestine. This decision was influenced by geopolitical interests and the need to manage local governance amid rising tensions.

What were the British mandates?
The British mandates were territories administered by the United Kingdom under the League of Nations after World War I. These mandates primarily included regions in the Middle East, such as Palestine, Transjordan (now Jordan), and Iraq. The aim was to prepare these regions for self-governance, but British control often led to tensions and conflicts, particularly in Palestine, where conflicting national aspirations arose between Jewish and Arab populations. The mandates ended after World War II, leading to the establishment of independent nations.

Where is Transjordanian Palestine today and who lives in that part of Palestine?
The British Mandate of Palestine was established in 1919 and was then partitioned into what is commonly known as the British Mandate of Palestine and the British Mandate of Transjordan (because it was on the opposite side of the Jordan River). This division came into existence because the British had promised the Hashemites (an important Arab family) a Kingdom for support in World War I. As a result, Transjordan fell under the control of the Hashemite Kings. When Transjordan became independent as Jordan in 1946, the Hashemites retained control of the country and still rule it to this day. The people of Jordan today are mixed. 40% of them consider themselves endemic Jordanians, which is to say that their ancestors lived in Transjordan before the independence because their ancestors lived in what remained in the British Mandate of Palestine until the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 (when presumably they fled to Jordan). It is important to note, however, that most Jordanians (endemic or Palestinian) consider themselves to be part of the same people: The Arabs of Bilaad Sham. (Bilaad Sham covers what is today Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and is traditionally translated as "Greater Syria".)

How many miles Palestine is far away from makkah?
Given that Palestine does not have clear borders, it is impossible to say how large Palestine is. The current area under direct control of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is minimal relative to the historic British Mandate of Palestine. The area of the former British Mandate of Palestine is approximately 10,900 square miles. The area of the State of Palestine (all of the West Bank and all of the Gaza Strip) is 2,400 square miles. The area of the Gaza Strip (which is under full Hamas control) is 139 square miles. The area of the West Bank is 2,261 square miles (including East Jerusalem). However, the Palestinian Authority has only partial control of the West Bank. The West Bank is split into zones, where Zone A is under full Palestinian municipal control, Zone B is hybridized control between Israel and Palestine, and Zone C is purely under Israeli control. The amount of territory in each zone is A: 68 square miles (but consists of the majority of the Palestinian population), B: 543 square miles, and C: 1650 square miles.
