None; there was no "Palestine" prior to World War 1. Before the Great War, the area now sometimes called "Palestine" was part of Turkey, and had been for hundreds of years. Turkey was allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and after WWI ended, the British and French partitioned Turkey into several separate colonies including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. "Palestine" was the name given to the area that now includes Israel and Jordan.

After WWII, the United Nations partitioned "Palestine" into "Israel" and "Trans-Jordan", or the "land across the Jordan River".

Why is Palestine a strategic location?

Palestine is an ancient country as much as the history of mankind can tell. Its East Mediterranean situation engendered this land's first touch with the old great civilizations of Egypt and the Mesopotamia. Palestine lies at the routes linking three continents. This unique position as a geographical bridge between Asia, Africa and Europe rendered it to be opened land to the cultural and religious winds of Egypt, Syria and Mesopotamia. It is worthwhile to mention in this regard that Palestine location at a vintage point between these three Arab countries has determined its Arab identity from ancient times. If history itself is a coincidence, then one can make the right conclusion for the past and the future of Palestine as an Arab land. As a matter of fact the heart of the Arab world since Egypt, Iraq and Syria are the cornerstone of the Arab world

What does the land of Canaan symbolize?

A:Wayne T. Pitard (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Before Israel) says that during the second millennium BCE, Canaan was the name often used for Palestine (the area west of the Jordan River), whose northern boundary fluctuated between southern and central Lebanon. However, modern scholars generally use the term in referring to the wider region in Syria-Palestine where a substantial cultural continuum defined as Canaanite can be discerned. Encompassing western Palestine, most of Lebanon, and coastal Syria as far north as Ugarit, this more extensive area was never considered a political or cultural unit by its ancient inhabitants.


What was palestine before world one?

Palestine. Before that it was called Judea, and before that it was Israel. Its first name was Canaan. If the question seeks to ask specifically before World War 1, Palestine was the term used for the general region of the southern Levant under Ottoman Turkish Occupation. The territory was administrated as part of three different wilayaat or governates: the Wilayat Beirut (which consisted of much of Lebanon and northern Israel/Palestine), Mutasaffirat al-Qods (which consisted of Jerusalem and the surrounding area in central Israel/Palestine), and Wilayat Dimashq (which consisted of much of Syria, Jordan, and the southern Negev Desert in Israel). The Palestinian Arabs had little to no power in the administration or politics of any of the three wilayaat, which were ruled entirely by Turkish nobility in Beirut, Damascus, and Istanbul.
