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.

Additionally, rising nationalist movements among both Arab and Jewish populations contributed to the region's instability, further undermining Ottoman authority. Ultimately, the empire's collapse and the geopolitical changes in the region paved the way for British control over Palestine.
