  • 20 February – The first Anglo-Tranjordanian treaty is concluded following which the Emirate of Transjordan becomes nominally independent, while Britain retains a degree of control over foreign affairs, armed forces, communications and state finances. The treaty fails to respond to Transjordanian demands for a fully sovereign and independent state.
  • 20 June – Seventh Palestine Arab Congress.
  • 25 July – The first national Transjordanian Congress is held in Amman and calls for an independent state and the protection of the people's rights.
  • 23 September – The Western Wall incident occurs at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, leading to Muslim fears of Jewish intentions to take possession of the Al Aqsa Mosque and triggering intercommunal violence that later spreads across Mandatory Palestine.
