Palestine (British Mandate)

The Palestine (British Mandate) was a period from 1920 to 1948 when Britain governed the territory formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, intending to establish a national home for the Jewish people while respecting the rights of the Arab residents. During this time, tensions grew between Jewish and Arab communities over land, immigration, and governance. The mandate ended with the United Nations' plan to partition the land into separate Jewish and Arab states, leading to the establishment of Israel in 1948. This period was crucial in shaping the modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
