In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a lesser-known chapter of Jordan's military history: the role of the Arab Legion—Jordan's British-led army—in the 1941 Anglo-Iraqi War. When a pro-Axis coup in Iraq threatened British interests in the Middle East, the Arab Legion under Glubb Pasha was dispatched to support the British advance on Baghdad. We follow the Legion's grueling desert march from Palestine to the Euphrates, examine the political calculations of Emir Abdullah I, and discuss how this intervention bolstered the Hashemite dynasty's regional ambitions while deepening its reliance on Britain. Along the way, we touch on key figures like Rashid Ali al-Gaylani, the Golden Square, and the legacy of this campaign in Jordanian identity. It's a story of imperial strategy, tribal loyalty, and a small army punching above its weight. #ArabLegion #GlubbPasha #AngloIraqiWar #RashidAli #GoldenSquare #Hashemite #EmirAbdullah #Baghdad #1941 #WWII #MiddleEast #Transjordan #FexingoHistory #History #MilitaryHistory #JordanHistory #DesertCampaign #BritishEmpire Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
