During the 1940s, especially after World War II, Jewish and Arab Militias and Terror Organizations stepped up their attacks on British colonial authorities and each other. As a result, it became increasingly difficult for the British to maintain security in the territory. Therefore, they began to stop policing violence between Jewish and Arab Militias. When the United Nations in November 1947 created the Partition Plan in Resolution 181, the British decided to honor the decision of the UN and withdraw its soldiers to allow for the creation of these two independent states. The withdrawal took over five months, with the final British soldiers departing on May 14, 1948.
