Britain controlled Palestine after WW2
Palestine
Britain controlled Palestine from the end of World War I until February 1947 when, in response to Zionist terrorist attacks, Britain handed Palestine over to the United Nations to solve the Palestinian problem.
Britain made a number of promises during World War I in an attempt to attract allies. In the Middle East, they made promises to Zionists and to Arabs. When World War I concluded, Britain had control of the Mandate of Palestine and thus they were able to retroactively buttress both the claims that they made to the Jews and those that they made to Arabs insofar as they wished to actually observe them.
In 1945, Palestine remained a British Mandate (United Kingdom).
After World War I, the League of Nations mandated Britain to control Palestine. This mandate was formalized in 1920 and aimed to establish a national home for the Jewish people while ensuring the rights of the existing Arab population. The British administration faced significant challenges and tensions between Jewish and Arab communities during this period.
During World War I, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, which sided with the Central Powers. The region became a significant battleground, particularly with the British campaign to capture Jerusalem and the Suez Canal from Ottoman control. The Balfour Declaration in 1917, in which Britain expressed support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, further complicated the situation, setting the stage for future conflicts. Following the war, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine, leading to increased tensions between Jewish and Arab populations.
