Everything east of the Jordan River would be part of the State of Transiordan. So it was createdperhaps the most artificial creation of a state in this century. It had no ethnic or historic boundaries. It had no national consciousness. but it was created. From the time it was created. it was closed to Jewish Immigration. So 80 percent of what had been the Palestinian mandate was cut off for the Jews to settle in. and what was left is now the land that is presently Israel. including the West Bank. The Jews did not like the creation of Transjordan. but they accepted it.
