1930 Anglo-Transjordanian Treaty

The 1930 Anglo-Transjordanian Treaty was an agreement between Britain and the Emirate of Transjordan (now Jordan), establishing British influence over the region while granting some internal autonomy. It clarified the boundaries and responsibilities, allowing Transjordan to handle its internal affairs but keeping Britain in control of defense and foreign relations. The treaty was part of Britain's efforts to manage its empire more efficiently after World War I and laid the groundwork for Jordan's future independence. It was an important step in the political evolution of Jordan from a British mandate to an autonomous entity.
