Originally, the land was part of three areas called Philista, Canaan, Moab, and Amor. Later the Israelites moved into the land; it then became Israel, Philistia, Moab, and Phoenicia, and Judah (which became a separate kingdom from Israel later). Then the Roman Empire conquered the lands, and the area became provinces of Rome known as Idumea, Judea, Perea, Decapolis, Samaria, Galilee, Trachonitis, Iturea, and Phoenicia (all together known as Palestine). Then later the Roman Empire fell, and the area became part of the Ottoman Empire, and was still known as Palestine until about 1914. Later, when the Ottoman Empire fell to the Allies, it was split from the other lands of the Ottoman Empire, and was still known as Palestine (1914-1922) this was done by the Balfour Declaration. Later, violating the Balfour Declaration, the land was split into two areas one called Palestine, and one called Transjordan, and again the Balfour Declaration was violated when the British Mandate gave the Golan Heights to the French Mandate; the Golan Heights later became part of Syria. The land known as Transjordan eventually became the country called Jordan. The land known as Palestine at this time (1922-1948) became Israel (1948). Later, Israel would be split into Israel, and Palestine, which now consists of Gaza, and the West Bank. (The Golan Heights was captured by Israel in the Six-Day War.)

Did Palestine become the country of Israel after the World War 2?

Yes and No. The Mandate of Palestine was merely the British Name for the land they occupied in the Southwestern Levantine region of the Middle East. There was no nation of Palestine or independent Governate of Palestine at any point in the prior 2000 years. When the Jewish population of the Mandate of Palestine declared independence, they used the name Israel to denote their country. The Arab residents of the British Mandate preferred to continue using the name Palestine to represent themselves. The majority of the Mandate's land ended up in Israeli hands in 1949, but some parts were under Arab control. It is these Arab areas that will likely form the basis of the Palestinian State.
