The revolt reached the peak of its power in the Summer of 1938,
when the rebels were practically in control over almost all of the
countryside, and occupied a number of towns including Jerusalem. The
British practically had to reoccupy Palestine from the hands of the rebels.
The British forces aided by a large number of reinforcements, and
Jewish armed forces, used brutal force including the use of planes to stop
‘the revolt. With the Second World War closing in, the British in 1939
combined the use of force with diplomatic efforts. As a result of the
latter, the White Paper was published. The Palestinians interpreted this
as the British conceding to their demands. The White Paper promised
independence within ten years, limitation on Jewish immigration and on
land sales. However, these promises were never realised.
The Palestinian Arab revolt came to an end in 1939 as the Second
World War started. - تاريخ
