British Mandate of Palestine

Description

1920 to 1948. At the 1920 San Remo conference of the Allied Supreme Council, at which the Mandates were granted, the British Mandate of Palestine comprised territory in modern-day Jordan, Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The British Mandate over Palestine came to an end on 15 May 1948, heralding the start of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the establishment of Israel in 1948.
