Jordan is a country of contrasts. It is a land of ancient ruins and modern cities, of deserts and mountains, of Bedouin tribes and urban dwellers. It is a country that has been shaped by its history as a crossroads of civilizations, and by its role in the modern Middle East.
This book tells the story of Jordan, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. It is a story of a country that has been repeatedly invaded and conquered, but which has always managed to maintain its own unique identity.
The book begins with a look at Jordan's ancient history. The region was first settled by humans in the Neolithic period, and by the Bronze Age, it was home to a number of powerful city-states. These city-states were conquered by the Persians in the 6th century BC, and by the Greeks in the 4th century BC.
In the 1st century AD, Jordan became part of the Roman Empire. The Romans built roads, aqueducts, and other infrastructure in the region, and they also introduced Christianity. Jordan was later conquered by the Arabs in the 7th century AD, and it became part of the Islamic caliphate.
In the 12th century AD, Jordan was conquered by the Crusaders. The Crusaders built castles and fortifications throughout the region, and they also introduced European culture and technology. Jordan was later reconquered by the Muslims in the 13th century AD, and it became part of the Mamluk sultanate.
In the 16th century AD, Jordan was conquered by the Ottoman Turks. The Ottomans ruled Jordan for over 400 years, and they introduced a number of reforms that helped to modernize the country.
In the early 20th century, Jordan was part of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. After the war, Jordan was occupied by the British, who established a protectorate over the country.
In 1946, Jordan became an independent kingdom. The country's first king was Abdullah I, who ruled until his assassination in 1951.
Abdullah I was succeeded by his son, Hussein, who ruled Jordan for over 40 years. Hussein was a popular and respected leader, and he played a key role in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Hussein was succeeded by his son, Abdullah II, who has ruled Jordan since 1999. Abdullah II has continued his father's policies of moderation and peace.
