The primary purpose of the Mandate System following World War I was to administer territories that were formerly part of the defeated Central Powers and to prepare them for self-governance. Established by the League of Nations, the system aimed to ensure that these regions were managed responsibly and developed politically and economically until they could stand as independent nations. The mandates were categorized into three classes based on their readiness for self-rule, with the intention of promoting stability and preventing future conflicts.

The league of nations wasn't established until after WWI. It was one of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points that he proposed at the Treaty Of Versailles.
After World War I, the land of Palestine came under British control as a result of the League of Nations mandate system. The British Mandate for Palestine was formally established in 1920, giving the United Kingdom administrative authority over the region. This period was marked by increasing tensions between Jewish and Arab populations, as both communities sought national recognition and rights in the territory.
After World War I, France was granted several territories as part of the mandate system established by the League of Nations. Notably, France received mandates over Syria and Lebanon, which became the French Mandate of Syria in 1920. Additionally, France was given control over parts of the former Ottoman Empire, including the region of Cilicia in modern-day Turkey. These mandates allowed France to administer and oversee these regions until they were deemed ready for self-governance.

The basis of the mandate system was Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which gave broad authority to the mandate powers regarding preparation for self-rule.
