During the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI, the Syrian National Congress proclaimed Faisal (a member of the Hashemite dynasty) king of a Syria whose territory was supposed to encompass what is now Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Israel. This...

Hashemite have historically tried many time to create a « Hashemite Kingdom of Greater Syria » how would it be doable for Abdullah II and the Jordanian military to try profit of the Crisis early on to create it ? I guess they could play a narrative with them being Sunni to unite the rebel...

What if Jordanian king Hussein suffered the fate of his cousin, Faisal of Iraq, and was toppled by a military coup the same year (1958) that established a republic? Would keeping Suleiman Nabulsi, who pushed for closer ties with Nasserist Egypt, as prime minister (he was removed in 1957 after...

Like it says on the tin. Could Faisal's kingdom of Syria ever have a clear shot at controlling all the lands it desired to, which stretched from modern day Syria all the way to Palestine and Jordan? Or would the European powers prevent that from happening? Would preventing or scrapping the...

Let’s say the battle of Maysalun https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Maysalun turn on a total disaster for the French with most of the army killed or captured something like the battle of Annual the Pod isn’t really important but would be something like Faisal more determined to fight...

Say, for the sake of argument, the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faisal%E2%80%93Weizmann_Agreement) went a bit differently, and the Knesset voted to elect Faisal of Iraq and Syria to be King of Israel. How would this work? Could an Austro-Hungarian-style dual monarchy...

Hello, everyone. I’m new to the AH community and this is my first post. The scenario will reach from 1908 to present, a large project for me. The end result will be a Hashemite-led Arab state, an independent Kurdistan, and a Megali Greece. The Second World War and Cold War section of this...

(Preface: I am new to the forum, and I thought it would be fun to join because I've recently been becoming a major alternate history nerd. I love the idea of world-building, and especially building a world based off of an alternate timeline of our own. I've been coming up with this timeline for...

What would be a good POD for a TL focusing on the modern Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan that could potentially make it into a major regional power? This means any point after 25 May 1946.

As the question (and the poll) said, what particular city could be the capital of a Hashemite Kingdom of Arabia, given the PoD (e.g. India Office was favored by the British government and the Hashemites have a better relationship with the merchant elite of Hejaz). Could it impact the economic...

In OTL, the Kingdom of Hejaz was an independent state with a Hashemite royal family that existed for a couple years before it was conquered by the Saudis. It was this conquest that created the modern state of Saudi Arabia and reduced the number of Hashemite kingdoms from three to two. How would...

See above. Israel loses the war, Palestine has been carved up occupation-wise by a number of neighboring countries while they decide what's going to happen. So... what does happen? Do the Jews somehow flee Israel en-masse? Get protection from the Hashemites? Do the Hashemites stake a claim to...

Basically what the title says. What if the Hashemites managed to keep their thrones in Iraq, Syria and Hejaz (and possibly take beat the Saudi Sultanate of Nejd)? How would this affect the middle east both in the short and long terms? Would this create a more stable region or would it be more...
