Answer this question… The British supported a Jewish homeland in Palestine despite an earlier promise to grant Arabs in the colony independence.
Britain did not promise the Arabs anything in 1914. From July 1915 to January 1916, the British wrote the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence which was a set of letters between the British High Commissioner in Egypt (Sir Henry McMahon) and the Sharif of Mecca (Hussein ibn Ali). In these letters, the British promised the Arabs a unitary Arab State in the Middle East that would cover most of the Middle East. However, some areas were excepted, mostly along the Syrian coast. It is unclear whether or not Mandatory Palestine was also excepted because the terms are ambiguous. Arabs argue that since Palestine is not mentioned explicitly as an exception (whereas specific Syrian cities are mentioned), Palestine was included. The British and the Jews aregue that the reservation was for areas west of Damascus and all of Palestine is west of Damascus.
Politically, the British wanted Jewish Militias in Palestine as well as wealthy pro-Zionist patrons to join the British War Effort and therefore promoted the Balfour Declaration as a way of getting that aid.
The British withdrew from the MANDATE FOR PALESTINE, which was not a sovereign country at any point prior to British control. It was a subservient territory to a number of prior empires.
Jewish Immigration to Palestine increased significantly, causing Arabs to worry about losing their land.
