How did Amman become the capitol of Jordan?

Amman became the capital of Jordan in 1921 when the Emirate of Transjordan was established under British mandate. Initially a small town, its strategic location and growing population made it an ideal choice for the capital. The city was developed significantly during the 1920s and 1930s, attracting administrative, political, and economic activities. Following Jordan's independence in 1946, Amman solidified its status as the country's political and cultural center.
