The United Nations voted to divide Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish.
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, the League of Nations mandated Britain to control Palestine. This mandate was formalized in 1920 and aimed to establish a national home for the Jewish people while ensuring the rights of the existing Arab population. The British administration faced significant challenges and tensions between Jewish and Arab communities during this period.
During World War I, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, which sided with the Central Powers. The region became a significant battleground, particularly with the British campaign to capture Jerusalem and the Suez Canal from Ottoman control. The Balfour Declaration in 1917, in which Britain expressed support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, further complicated the situation, setting the stage for future conflicts. Following the war, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine, leading to increased tensions between Jewish and Arab populations.
After World War I, Palestine lost control of its land primarily due to the British mandate established by the League of Nations, which granted Britain administrative control over the region. This shift was influenced by the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Britain expressed support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. The subsequent influx of Jewish immigrants and rising tensions between Jewish and Arab communities further complicated the situation, ultimately leading to the displacement of Palestinians and the loss of their land.

It depends on what you are calling Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate for Palestine, as a mandate, the territory was subject to League of Nations final authority. The job of the British was to safeguard the territory on behalf of the League and to advance the modernization and independence of the territory in accordance with the provisions of the mandate. When the United Nations superseded the League of Nations, the United Nations became the final authority in adjudicating issues related to the Mandate. in 1947, the British decided to give the UN a voice in determining the future of the mandate. In UNGA Resolution 181 (II), the United Nations resolved to create two states: a Jewish State and an Arab State. This resolution sets up the groundwork and legal basis for the existence of two countries: Israel (the Jewish State) and Palestine (the Arab State). If you are referring to the current State of Palestine. It has unofficial recognition in the United Nations and has recognition in several UN organizations like UNESCO. Palestine continually pushes for increased recognition to have better leverage in determining its future vis-à-vis Israel.
The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine or United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 was a plan approved by the United Nations on November 29, 1947 to terminate the British Mandate of Palestine by August 1, 1948 and recommend the creation of two states, one Jewish and one Arab, in Palestine. The plan was approved by the United Nations General Assembly by 33 votes to 13, with 10 abstentions.
Great Britain administered Palestine on behalf of the League of Nations between 1920 and 1948, a period referred to as the "British Mandate." Two states were established within the boundaries of the Mandate territory, Palestine and Transjordan (Jordan).
It's usually referred to the British Mandate of Palestine. It was territory won from the Ottoman Empire in 1917-18 (World War 1). From 1945-48 it was a United Nations mandate, before that a League of Nations mandate.
Before the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948, the land was the British Mandate of Palestine. The United Nations had decided to split Palestine into four zones, with two zones going to the Jews and two zones to the Palestinians, providing approximately half of the former Palestine to each. The Palestinian share was gradually reduced, until the UN defined a "Green Line", providing the Palestinians somewhat more than the 1967 borders.
After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine. The British Mandate for Palestine was established in 1920 and lasted until 1948. This mandate was intended to facilitate the establishment of a Jewish national home while also ensuring the rights of the existing Arab population.
In 1947, the United Kingdom decided to leave the problem of Palestine to the United Nations. Faced with increasing violence and conflict between Jewish and Arab communities in the region, the UK announced its intention to withdraw from its mandate over Palestine, leading to the UN's involvement in proposing a partition plan to resolve the conflict.
Israel and Judah. Both of these countries fit relatively well into the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine.
