The British mandates were territories administered by the United Kingdom under the League of Nations after World War I. These mandates primarily included regions in the Middle East, such as Palestine, Transjordan (now Jordan), and Iraq. The aim was to prepare these regions for self-governance, but British control often led to tensions and conflicts, particularly in Palestine, where conflicting national aspirations arose between Jewish and Arab populations. The mandates ended after World War II, leading to the establishment of independent nations.

The British and French mandates in the Middle East shared similarities in their colonial approach, as both sought to expand their influence and control over strategically important territories after World War I. They aimed to establish administrative systems that could manage local populations while promoting their own political and economic interests. Additionally, both mandates faced resistance and nationalist movements from the local populations, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with foreign rule. Ultimately, their legacies contributed to ongoing regional tensions and conflicts in the Middle East.

After World War I, the League of Nations established British mandates over several territories, notably including Palestine, Iraq, and Transjordan (now Jordan). These mandates were intended to guide the regions towards self-governance, but they often faced significant local resistance and conflict. Additionally, Britain also held mandates in parts of Africa, such as Tanzania (then Tanganyika) and Cameroon, although the latter was shared with France.
They all eventually gained their independence from Britain or France
Britain took over several Class A, Class B, and Class C mandates. The Class A mandates were Palestine and Mesopotamia, which represent the modern countries of Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq. The Class B mandates were Tanganyika, British Kameruns, and British Togoland, which form parts of Tanzania, Cameroon, and Ghana, respectively. The Class C mandates were Nauru, New Guinea (shared with Australia), and Southwest Africa (shared with South Africa). New Guinea would become part of Papua New Guinea and Southwest Africa is now independent as Namibia.

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.
Great Britain held several mandates under the League of Nations following World War I. Notably, it administered the mandates for territories such as Palestine, Iraq, and Transjordan, which were previously part of the Ottoman Empire. These mandates were intended to prepare the regions for self-governance, though they often faced significant challenges and resistance from local populations. The British mandates played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of the Middle East.
