British Mandate

The British Mandate was a period from 1920 to 1948 when Britain administered Palestine, a region in the Middle East, under a League of Nations agreement following World War I. This arrangement aimed to prepare the territory for self-governance while maintaining British oversight. During this time, tensions grew between Jewish and Arab populations regarding national aspirations. The mandate ended with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, leading to the withdrawal of British forces. Overall, the British Mandate was a transitional period that shaped the modern history of the Middle East and ongoing conflicts in the region.
