San Remo Conference

The San Remo Conference was a 1920 meeting of Allied powers after World War I, where they decided how to divide the Ottoman Empire's former territories. They agreed to establish mandates, meaning certain regions would be administrated by Britain and France until they were ready for independence. Notably, the conference supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, aligning with the Balfour Declaration. This decision significantly shaped the modern Middle East's borders and political landscape, impacting regional history and international relations.
