Ze'ev Jabotinsky was a right-wing nationalist who firmly believed in the Jewish right (and necessity) of self defense. Therefore, during World War I, he conceived the idea of establishing a Jewish Legion to fight alongside the British against the Ottomans who then controlled Palestine. In 1915, together with Joseph Trumpeldor he created the Zion Mule Corps, which consisted of several hundred Jewish men, mainly Russians, who had been exiled from Palestine by the Turks and had settled in Egypt. These Zion Mule Corps were eventually disbanded but not before serving with distinction in the Battle of Gallipoli.
After the Zion Mule Corps was disbanded, Jabotinsky petitioned the British government to create Jewish auxiliary to the British Army. In 1917, the government yielded and agreed to establish three Jewish Battalions, initiating the Jewish Legion. Jabotinsky soldiered in the Jordan Valley in 1918 and was decorated for bravery. As an officer in the 38th Royal Fusiliers, Jabotinsky fought with General Allenby in 1917. (General Allenby was the lead British General who fought to liberate Palestine from the Ottomans.)
