Jordanian War of Independence

The Jordanian War of Independence was a conflict in which Jordanian rebels sought to be free of Saudi Arabia's control and lasted from 1948 to 1950. Initially the rebellion began purely as a nationalistic uprising, however when the Kingdom of Iraq in the war, it became a conflict to restore the Hashemite dynasty's control over the Kingdom of Jordan.
The Jordanian rebellion began as the Saudi Arabian forces were faltering during the First Palestinian War against Jewish rebels. As they began to rebel during the Jewish rebellion, many in the Islamic world were opposed to the movement as it was claimed they did it as a pro-Jewish revolution, though others who were anti-Saudi viewed it as merely taking advantage of their weakness.
