Biography

Notables Project
Talal bin Abdullah is Notable.

Talal bin Abdullah bin Hussein bin Ali was born in Mecca in 1909, and studied at the British Military Academy, Sandhurst, and in 1929 became the first Jordanian officer to graduate from the institute. In 1934, he married Zein Al Sharaf (the late Queen Mother ), who died in 1994. As a member of the Arab Legion, he fought in battles between Arab and Israeli forces in Jerusalem, Ramallah and other Palestinian towns.

King Talal assumed the Throne on September 6, 1951 shortly after the assassination of King Abdullah I on July 20, 1951 in Jerusalem. During King Talal’s reign, Jordan concluded important agreements including a pan-Arab collective security agreement and announced compulsory free education. The introduction of compulsory free education, the first of its kind in Jordan and the Arab world, had a positive impact on the country’s future development.

Due to health reasons, he abdicated a year later on August 11, 1952 in favour of his eldest son, Prince Hussein.

He passed away in 1972

ولد طلال في مكة عام 1909. درس في الأكاديمية العسكرية البريطانية في ساندهيرست ، وفي عام 1929 أصبح أول ضابط أردني يتخرج من المعهد. في عام 1934 تزوج الملكة الأم الراحلة زين الشرف التي توفيت عام 1994.

كعضو في الفيلق العربي ، خاض معارك بين القوات العربية والإسرائيلية في القدس ورام الله وبلدات فلسطينية أخرى.

تولى الملك طلال العرش في 6 سبتمبر 1951 بعد وقت قصير من اغتيال الملك عبد الله الأول في 20 يوليو 1951 في القدس. في عهد الملك طلال ، أبرم الأردن اتفاقيات مهمة بما في ذلك اتفاقية الأمن الجماعي العربي وأعلن التعليم المجاني الإلزامي. كان لإدخال التعليم المجاني الإلزامي ، وهو الأول من نوعه في الأردن والعالم العربي ، تأثير إيجابي على التنمية المستقبلية للبلاد.

لأسباب صحية ، تنازل عن العرش بعد عام في 11 أغسطس 1952 لصالح نجله الأكبر الأمير حسين.

توفي سنة 1972

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Although it is his full name, it was not his formal name (See Elizabeth II for similar situation). However, I added the full name to his Biography.
