In 1921 A.D., in the land of western Asia, two countries were established at the same time, one was Iraq and the other was Jordan, and it was not surprising that the two countries were established at the same time, and it was surprising that the founders of Iraq and Jordan were actually brothers of the same father and mother, the founder of Jordan was abdullah I, the second old, and the founder of Iraq was the third Faisal I, who was an important member of the Hashemite family.

This matter begins with the Great Arab Uprising. In 1916 AD, Hussein Hashem, the 38th patriarch of the Arab family of hashemites, rebelled against the Ottoman rule of Turkey with three sons and family, the eldest son was Ali, the second son was Abdullah I, the third son was Faisal I, in the same year Hussein established the Kingdom of Hejaz and served as king, and finally in 1918 AD, Turkey was defeated in World War I, the Arab Uprising was successful, the Arabs achieved national independence, and all three brothers made prominent contributions in the Arab Uprising.
But another problem began, the Kingdom of Nej, established by the Saud family, which also belonged to the Arab family, attempted to unify the Arabian Peninsula, and war broke out between the two sides, and finally in 1924 AD, the Kingdom of Nej destroyed the Kingdom of Hejaz, basically unifying the Arabian Peninsula, and in the following 1932 AD, the kingdom was renamed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in the same year Hussein's eldest son Ali succeeded to the hejaz throne during his exile, called Ali I, which lasted until he gave up the Hejaz throne in 1925 AD.

It was in this process that Hussein's second and third sons each established themselves in another land, and at the same time established Jordan and Iraq in 1921 AD, when the official name was the Emirate of Transjordan (the name of the country was changed to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1950 AD), the Kingdom of Iraq, because they were all members of the Hashemite family, so of course it was the Hashemite Dynasty that ruled Jordan and Iraq, and if it were not for the destruction of the Hejaz, the three brothers could each establish the Hashemite Dynasty to rule a country.
Therefore, the Jordanian royal family and the Iraqi royal family are absolutely of the same origin, both of which are hashemite dynasties.
But the fate that followed, the Hashemite dynasty of Jordan and the Hashemite dynasty of Iraq were very different. In 1958 AD, the 714 Revolution broke out in Iraq, destroying the Iraqi Hashemite Dynasty, King Faisal II and his royal family were all killed, the tragedy was extreme, and the Hashemite Dynasty of Jordan was basically unaffected or revolutionized, and has continued to this day, the current King Abdullah II.

In the July 14 Revolution in Iraq, although the leadership was mainly the Liberal Officers' Organization, the Ba'ath Party also made a great contribution, regarding the origin and development of the Liberal Officers' Organization and the Ba'ath Party, the author will not introduce, and the most famous figures of the Ba'ath Party are Becker and Saddam Hussein.
Not long after the military came to power in Iraq, there was another regime change in Iraq, this time the Ba'ath Party came to power. In 1968, Becker was the number one person and Saddam Hussein was the second person to launch a coup d'état to overthrow the military regime, with Becker as president and Saddam Hussein as vice president. In 1979, Saddam Hussein staged a coup d'état to force Becker to step down, stealing the presidency until the United States overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003.
After Saddam's regime was overthrown by the United States, one of the most concerned issues in the world was the question of the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein and his family members, and what the outside world can confirm is that Saddam's eldest son Uday and second son Kusai were killed by the US army, and Saddam Hussein was captured alive and sentenced to death by hanging, while Saddam's wife and daughter were still politically protected by the neighboring jordan king Abdullah II, who is still reigning, and still lives a high-society life in Jordan, even if the United States asks Abdullah II to hand over Saddam's wife and daughter, he firmly refuses.

So the question is, as I have already highlighted earlier, Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party is a major accomplice of the Iraqi July 14 Revolution that wiped out the third King faisal II of the Hashemite Dynasty and his royal family members, and it is reasonable to say that King Abdullah II of Jordan, who also belongs to the Hashemite Dynasty, should hate the Ba'ath Party very much.

It turns out that Jordan and Iraq have been helping each other for decades, and the hatred has long since dissolved. As early as the 1960s, that is, after the collapse of the Hashemite dynasty in Iraq, when the king of Jordan was Hussein I, that is, abdullah II's father, he really hated the Iraqi Ba'ath Party, but at that time Jordan was still very poor, not as rich as it is now, and Jordan was not as rich as other Arab countries, Jordan had almost no oil, some areas were still covered in desert, Hussein I also ran all day for the Middle East peace process, how easy is it for such a country to develop?
On the contrary, Iraq is a big oil country, after the Baath Party came to power, with the efforts of Becker and Saddam Hussein, Iraq achieved economic take-off in the 70s through oil, becoming a very rich country, at this juncture, Iraq did not know what the purpose, a lot of economic assistance to Jordan, coupled with The British Empire of King Hussein I, Jordan also became rich, Jordanians lived a peaceful and solid life, and the hatred between the Jordanian royal family and the Baath Party was dissolved.

After Saddam Hussein came to power, this dictator successively launched the Iran-Iraq War, the Kuwaiti War, and also fought the Gulf War with the multinational force led by the United States, and the entire country suffered heavy losses under the blows of the multinational force, at least thirty or forty years backwards, and after the war, it was also sanctioned by the United States economy, which was even worse, and it was a full half century backwards.
Under severe economic sanctions, a serious humanitarian crisis has occurred in Iraq, although the international community has given some assistance, but the cup of water, only Jordan withstood the pressure of the United States, poured money into Iraq, and solved the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, so that the friendship between Jordan and Iraq has gone further.
In 1999 AD, Hussein I died of illness, the eldest son is the current King Abdullah II to succeed to the throne, 4 years later the Iraq War broke out, the United States overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime, Saddam Hussein's wife and daughter to flee, and Iraq's best relations jordan, of course, there is no hesitation to provide political protection for Saddam's wife and daughter, even if the king changes, the friendly relations between the two countries have not changed.

So the conclusion of the title is that Saddam's Iraqi Ba'ath Party destroyed the Hashemite royal family in Iraq during the July 14 Revolution, and the hashemite royal family of Jordan, which has the same roots, should have hated the Ba'ath Party, but because the two countries have been helping each other in subsequent history, the hatred has been resolved, and it has developed into a very friendly country, so Jordan's current king Abdullah II, even under pressure from the United States, must protect Saddam's wife and daughter who were forced to flee after the fall of Saddam's regime.
