abstract:Transjordan, also known as Oultrejordain, the East Bank, Eastern Palestine, Eiver HaYarden, and the Transjordanian Highlands is the part of the Southern Levant east of the Jordan river, roughly consisting of modern day Jordan.
Twenty-five years before, Britain -- which was made trustee under the Mandate in 1920 -- converted the eastern three-quarters of Palestine into the Emirate of Transjordan.
