The Ottoman sultan Salim I conquered historical Greater Syria (encompassing modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Palestine/Israel, and parts of Jordan and Türkiye) in 1516.[1] The region of modern Jordan remained on the Empire's frontier and was loosely under Ottoman control, leaving powerful local tribes to vie for power. In 1918, Ottoman rule over the region officially ended with the success of the Great Arab Revolt, which defeated the Ottoman forces in Greater Syria during World War I. This brief independence ended at the close of the War, when Great Britain was granted oversight of Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq and the Emirate of Transjordan was organized.
