Hussein was born in1935165438+10/4. 195 1 graduated from Victoria College in Alexandria, Egypt. 195 1 After his grandfather King Abdullah was assassinated on July 20th, his father Talal succeeded to the throne. Because Talal suffers from schizophrenia, he can't run the country. 1952 In August, Hussein, who was studying in Harrogan, England, was recalled to the throne. At that time, he was only 17 years old, and the regent Committee temporarily acted as the king. He was sent to the Royal Military Academy in St. Hurst, England and Cromwell Air Force Academy to study. 1On May 2, 953, Hussein was officially crowned as the supreme commander of the three armed forces.

Hussein is now the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East. He was assassinated many times, but all survived. Some people call him "the king of adventure". He came back from a holiday in Europe. While flying over Syria, he was suddenly intercepted by a fighter plane and forced to land. With superb flying skills, he got rid of the fighter plane, but he almost ran into a hill. On one occasion, someone tipped him off that some of the guards' followers had been bought and planned to assassinate him, so Hussein had to leave the palace to live outside. But his nose is inflamed and he needs nasal drops. The assistant accidentally dropped the medicine into the basin and immediately made a sound and smoked. He didn't know it was sulfuric acid until after the test. Hussein once told reporters: "If I had a choice, I might not choose the position of king." Because he has had enough of the king's dangerous smell. But he naturally loves adventure, such as water skiing in the sea, skiing in the mountains or flying.

Hussein is mainly ruled by Bedouin tribes. Jordan held parliamentary elections in June 1989 1 1, and then began to gradually lift military control for 20 years, release political prisoners and relax control over the news. 1990 10 in April, he claimed to ensure the independence of all parties in Jordan and prepared to open the party ban. Since the 1970s, he has given priority to the development of the national economy, implemented the policy of "economic opening and trade liberalization", encouraged private investment, actively absorbed foreign investment and introduced advanced technology, and attached importance to the cultivation of scientific and technological talents, thus making Jordan's economy develop rapidly. Pursue the pro-Western policy and seek a political solution to the Middle East issue. On the Palestinian issue, he put forward the principle of "land for peace" and advocated solving the problems between Arab countries and Israel on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution 242. He is regarded as a representative of moderates in Arab countries. At the end of 1988, he announced that Jordan had severed its administrative and judicial relations with the West Bank, reiterated that the PLO was the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and actively promoted the Middle East peace talks. He opposed the massive emigration of Soviet Jews to Israel. 1In mid-July, 990, he warned that war might break out in the Middle East due to the increasing number of Jewish immigrants from the Soviet Union.
