Summary/Abstract: Formally, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan became an independent state in 1946, preceded by the Emirate of Transjordan. In 1946–1956 the British still exerted great influence on the elites of the Kingdom. The study presents opinions of British officials and advisors on the question of state autonomy of Jordan. Principally, in 1946–1957 British officers and officials recognised the Hashemite state as an artificial construct and predicted that fairly soon it would melt within a larger Arab federation.
