In 1957, a quiet coup in Amman reshaped the Middle East. After King Hussein foiled a military plot backed by Syria and Egypt, he abruptly ended Jordan's 60-year treaty with Britain, expelled British officers from the Arab Legion, and turned to the United States for support. This episode traces the unraveling of the Hashemite-British alliance—from the Eisenhower Doctrine's arrival in the region to the secret meetings in al-Hummar Palace where Hussein drafted the treaty's abrogation. We explore how Wasfi al-Tall, then a young minister, helped engineer the shift; how the Arab Legion became the Jordan Arab Army; and how Jordan's pivot to Washington set the stage for decades of reliance on foreign aid. Along the way, we confront a forgotten subplot: the CIA's role in backing Hussein against a Nasserist coup attempt, and the quiet purge of leftist officers that followed. This is a story of sovereignty, Cold War bargains, and a king who gambled his throne on a new patron. #Jordan #KingHussein #AngloJordanianTreaty #ArabLegion #EisenhowerDoctrine #WasfiAlTall #ColdWar #MiddleEastHistory #1957Coup #CIA #ArabNationalism #Nasser #AlHummarPalace #JordanArabArmy #BritishEmpire #Sovereignty #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
