'Asia'
Vintage colour map; Scale 1:33,000,000, 1952
Title of map: 'Asia '
The map shows the Jordanian-occupied West Bank. Jordanian occupation of the West Bank refers to the occupation and annexation of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) by Jordan (formerly Transjordan), during a period of nearly two decades (1948–1967) in the aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. In 1948, the Arab Legion conquered the Old City of Jerusalem and took control of territory on the western side of the Jordan River, including the cities of Jericho, Bethlehem, Hebron and Nablus. Jordan’s annexation was regarded as illegal and void by the Arab League and others. It was recognized only by Britain, Iraq and Pakistan. The map was published during The First Indochina War (generally known as the Indochina War in France, and as the Anti-French Resistance War in contemporary Vietnam). French Indochina (modern Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos) is shown as a single entity.
