No. Palestine (What the area was called before Israel declared independence) was under Ottoman (Turkish) rule from 1516 to 1918, at which point the British Empire declared a mandate in Israel, which lasted until Israel declared independence in May 14th, 1948.

A Mandate is a declaration of intent, meaning the mandating country will control the zone and support the people who inhabit it until they are ready to declare independence.

What was Israel called in 1920?

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.


When was Israel born?

Israel was not invented. It is an alternate name for Jacob of the Old Testament. His descendants were called "the children of Israel." Israel was also the name of one of two ancient Jewish kingdoms, the other being Judah. The ancient Kingdom of Israel existed as an independent entity form about 1050 BC until about 930 BC. Because the ancient Kingdom of Judah lasted until the Babylonian conquest, and was afterward a province of Babylon, Macedon and then Rome under the names of Yehud or Judea, modern efforts to found a Jewish state preferred the name Israel. The modern State of Israel was founded in 1948.
