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, 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.

After World War I, Palestine became a center of conflict primarily due to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent British mandate, which fueled tensions between Jewish and Arab populations. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 expressed British support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, leading to increased Jewish immigration and land purchases, which heightened Arab fears of displacement. These conflicting national aspirations, alongside historical, religious, and cultural ties to the land, laid the groundwork for ongoing strife and violence in the region.
Great Britain obtained land in Africa and the Middle East. In Africa specifically Tanganyica, part of Togoland, the Cameroons. In the Middle East specifically Syria, Palestine, Jordan, and Trans-Jordan.
No country was occupied in full as a result of the Six Day War. The Egyptian Sinai was occupied by Israel, the Syrian Golan is still occupied by Israel, and areas previously controlled by Jordan and Egypt were also under Israeli occupation. These areas have been retroactively called Palestine, but as Palestine was not a country prior to the war, it cannot be considered an occupied country. (Those who consider the State of Palestine as the West Bank and Gaza, and believe that Israel is illegally occupying those areas militarily, still call Palestine a "disputed territory" since there was no Palestinian governmental apparatus in 1967.)
Palestine was mostly an empty land during WW2. Most of the local population worked on agricultural pursuits.

1967 War, Arab nations blockaded and diverted Israeli water, with a mostly anti-Jewish agenda. Israel fought back and won land, much to the embarassment of the larger Arab nations and occupied parts of Palestine in defense of IRS resources.

No, it was occupied by the Japanese
All of Germany was occupied by Allied Powers after WWII. The Russians occupied almost the entire eastern section of Germany and Britain, France, and the US occupied the western section.
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.
