Who governed Palestine before the State of Israel was declared?
Britain. Answer2. The territory of Palestine, i.e. the geographical area that included modern Jordan( it comprises over 70% of Palestine), Gaza, Israel ( including Judea and Samaria), Southern part of Syria and Soutehrn part of Lebanon, was by the decision of the League of Nations passed under the mandate of Great Britain with the condition that Great Britain would make it "The Home for Jewish People". Great Britain, in pursue of its political goals, breached this condition and passed over 70% of the territory of Palestine to Arab clan of Hashemites, proclaiming Abdallah, the son of the small Arabian war-lord Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi , the Emir of Transjordan and then he proclaimed himself the King. That was the beginning of the conflict known as the Arab-Israeli conflict that lasts already more than 70 years. As a matter of fact, Great Britain did not rule in Palestine; it was a Mandate Power whose role was to create the necessary conditions for making the territory under its Mandate ready for becoming independent nations.
Whom did Israel gain its independence from?
Answer 1PalestineAnswer 2Israel gained its independence from the UNITED KINGDOM.Israel was previously the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE, which was a territory in the Middle East under British Occupation. Contrary to the view that Israel became independent from "Palestine", the territory was not an autonomous country or region called Palestine prior to independence. To say this would be as absurd as saying that the United States gained independence from the Native Americans instead of saying that it got independence from Great Britain.
How did the USSR react to the British mandate of Palestine?
The Soviet Union was opposed to the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine until after World War II, which is when Israel became independent. The Soviet Union actually saw the British Mandate in Palestine as an attempt by the British to create a sphere of influence in the Middle East and by allowing Jews to settle there, the British would transplant a Western-leaning, and relatively wealthy population in the Middle East. This would be disadvantageous to Soviet interests in the region. As a result, Stalin created Birobidzian Autonomous Jewish Oblast in southeast Siberia to be Jewish homeland in the Soviet Union. Understandably, it was not that successful since it was nowhere near the Jewish population centers.
Why doesn't the Gaza Strip change their name to Palestine?
There are three main reasons that this does not happen:Lack of Legal Permission: Since Hamas controls the Gaza Strip in a de facto but not de jure way, they have no legal grounds for assuming the name Palestine, which would refer to a legally legitimate Arab State in part of the former British Mandate of Palestine.Ease of Use: The term Gaza Strip is well-known and easily recognizable. It has been in use since 1949 and a change would cause some confusion and much annoyance.Implicit Recission of Larger Claims: Hamas is afraid that if they call the lands they currently occupy as Palestine, it might be said to have implicitly taken back its calls for the entire former British Mandate of Palestine. This is a claim that they do not wish to take back.
When was the State of Israel formed out of Palestine?
Israel was declared an independent Jewish State on May 14, 1948. However, the phrasing of the question makes implicit assumptions that must be dealt with. It would seem from the way that the question is written that Palestine was a country and then one day, and was renamed Israel the next day. This is not the case. Palestine was a territorial name in the same way that the Riviera in southwestern Europe is a territorial name. It just happens that some of the Riviera is in France and some in Italy. Israel was a state that declared independence in that territory, which was a British Mandate at the time. There were still areas of Palestine that did not become part of Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians did not consider Israel to be their state and would later identify with the Palestinian State declared in absentia in 1988 and recognized in the Oslo Accords of 1993.
What was Britain's rule in Iraq and Palestine?
The British ruled the regions would become Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine as Mandates. From 1919-1921 the only two British Mandates in the Middle East were those of Iraq and Palestine. In 1922, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into the Mandate of Palestine and the Mandate of Transjordan.
From whom did Israel gain independence from in 1948?
Israel gained independence from the British who were the colonizers of the Mandate of Palestine. However, most of what the Israelis term the "Israeli Independence War" was fought against the Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Iraqis. (Along with extra regiments from Yemen and Saudi Arabia.)
Who did israel and iraq gain independence from?
Israel and Iraq both gained their independence from the UNITED KINGDOM.Israel was previously the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE from 1919-1948, which was a territory in the Middle East under British Occupation. Contrary to the view that Israel became independent from "Palestine", the territory was not an autonomous country or region called Palestine prior to independence. To say this would be as absurd as saying that the United States gained independence from the Native Americans instead of saying that it got independence from Great Britain.Iraq was similarly a British Mandate from 1919-1932.

How did Britain have control of Israel before 1948?
Britain was awarded a mandate, by the League of Nations, to govern Palestine-after WW1 upon the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. British mandate included references to the Balfour Declaration and the establishment of a Jewish homeland was a severe blow to the Arabs. Partly to try and mollify this disappointment, the British split the Palestine mandate into two distinct areas, using the Jordan River as a natural boundary. The British claimed that Jewish immigration would be confined to the West of the river. The East of the river, which represented three quarters of the whole mandate area was to be reserved for the Arabs alone. Britain also had a mandate to govern the Palestine lands Transjordan which Britain illegally severed and gave to the arabs, and Iraq. France was awarded a mandate to rule in Syria and Lebanon. This is what is refered to as the Mandate System Look up Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, T.E. Lawrence, Hashemite dynasty, mandate system, etc. all available on Wikipedia.... The State of Israel was declared on May 14, 1947 the day before the British mandate was to end.

What has Britain contributed to the war in Gaza?
Nothing. The United Kingdom has absolutely nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza. (It would be like asking "What does Australia have to do with the Indo-Pakistani Wars?") The closest that Britain comes to contributing to the conflict is that over 60 years ago, Gaza and Israel were both part of the British Mandate of Palestine and the decision to give the United Nations the jurisdiction to direct the future of that Mandate came from the United Kingdom. The resulting formation of Israel and the later founding of the Palestinian Authority was as a result of the UN's decision, not from Britain.
Who owned israel before it was created?
If the question intends to ask "Who controlled the land upon which Israel now sits before the Israeli Declaration of Independence?", the answer would be that it was part of the British Empire, specially the British Mandate of Palestine.
What did World War I have to do with Israel?
There are three main connections between World War 1 and Israel:The Sinai and Palestine Campaign: Contrary to what is taught in many schools, there was more to World War 1 than the Western European front which tore up large areas of northeastern France. One of the four other major theatres of conflict was in the Middle East. The British had a strong military position along the Egyptian-Ottoman border in the Sinai Peninsula (this is roughly equivalent to the modern Egyptian-Israeli border). In 1916 and 1917, British generals attempted to enter Ottoman Palestine on four separate occasions. On the last thrust, British General Allenby was able to advance and take the Ottomans by surprise at Beersheba. He continued a successful advance all the way to northern Israel by 1918 (including the Battle of Megiddo).The Regional Militias: During World War 1, numerous Jewish Settlers in Ottoman Palestine and numerous Arab inhabitants of the area wished to rise up against Ottoman rule in order to assert their own independence. The British chose to arm and train groups of Jews and Arabs to fight alongside the main British army and help defeat the Ottoman Turks. The Jewish Militias would eventually become the Haganah and Palmach in the Post-War climate. The Arab Militias would eventually become the Holy War Army and the Arab Liberation Army. These sets of militias would fight each other nearly continuously over the course of the British Mandate for Palestine and would finally begin a full-scale war in September of 1947. This conflict eventually escalated in May of 1948 to an international war after Israel declared independence.The Mandate for Palestine: In order to gain financial support of wealthy British Zionists for the war effort and to gain recruits for the Jewish Militias in Ottoman Palestine, the British Government issued the Balfour Declaration. Subsequently, the League of Nations issued the British an agreement outlining the purpose of the British Mandate for Palestine, namely to assist Jewish organizations in the creation of a Jewish National Homeland. It was as a result of the Ottoman defeat in World War 1 that Ottoman Palestine became British Palestine and subject to this new trajectory, a trajectory that would eventually lead to the Establishment of the State of Israel.
When was Tel Aviv Israel made as a city?
Tel Aviv was founded in 1906. As to the date when it became a city (as opposed to a township), that would likely be some time in the 1920s, when massive Jewish immigration to the British Mandate for Palestine began.
What countries bordered Israel in 1945?
First of all, Israel did not exist in 1945; the country declared independence in 1948. in 1945, the area was still part of the British Mandate for Palestine. The Mandate for Palestine was bordered by Lebanon (which declared independence in 1943), Syria (which gained independence in 1944), the Emirate of Transjordan (which would become independent as the Kingdom of Jordan in 1946), and the Kingdom of Egypt (which has since become the Arab Republic of Egypt).
