1.2.2 The Mandate
Palestine was under Ottoman control for 400 years, which ended with their
defeat in World War I (WWI). The British military campaign to occupy the
country lasted from October 1917 to September 1918. However, even before the
occupation of the country was completed, the British government issued the
Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917, in which it supported the
“establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish people, and will use
their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object.”
After WWI, the League of Nations was established whose covenant
included the provision that the colonies that were under the control of the defeated
powers were to be entrusted to a mandatory power until such time when the people
of these colonies are able to govern themselves. In 1920, and against the wishes of
the Arabs of Palestine, Great Britain was “allotted” the Mandate for Palestine,
which was formally approved by the League in July 1922? and which incorporated
the Balfour Declaration.
