Best Answer

The modern State of Israel came into existence in 1948. In 1940, the area where Israel predominantly sits (excluding the Golan Heights) was called the British Mandate of Palestine.

The Mandate of Palestine was not a country, but a colony of the British Empire. What made a mandate different from a colony was that the British had an obligation to help the people living in the territory to form their own government and facilitate independence. In the specific case of the Mandate of Palestine, they were required to do this for the Jews and the Arabs together.
