Description 1943 Jerusalem printed on canceled Hebron Map water stains Mandatory Palestine

Mandatory Palestine, officially known as Palestine,[a][6] was a British administrative territory between 1920 and 1948 in the region of Palestine. The mandate provided a framework for the development of representative institutions and eventual self-government. From 1922, under the terms of the League of Nations, it was a mandated territory, administered by the British under the Mandate for Palestine.[7] The British High Commissioner under the Colonial Office led Mandatory Palestine.

After the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War in 1916, British forces drove Ottoman forces out of the Levant.[8] For the British, the United Kingdom had agreed in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence that it would honour Arab independence in case of a revolt but, in the end, the United Kingdom and France divided what had been Ottoman Syria under the Sykes–Picot Agreement—an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs. Another issue that later arose was the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Britain promised its support for the establishment of a Jewish \"national home\" in Palestine. Mandatory Palestine was then established in 1920, and the British obtained a Mandate for Palestine from the League of Nations in 1922.[9] Mandatory Palestine was designated as a Class A Mandate, based on its social, political, and economic development. This classification was reserved for post-war mandates with the highest capacity for self-governance.[10] All Class A mandates other than Mandatory Palestine had gained independence by 1946.[11]

At the formal beginning of the Mandate, the population was approximately 11% Jewish, 9% Christian Arab, and 78% Muslim Arab.[12] During the Mandate, the area saw successive waves of Jewish immigration and the rise of nationalist movements in both the Jewish and Arab communities. Competing interests of the two populations led to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine and the 1944–1948 Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine. The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, adopted by the UN General Assembly in November 1947, recommended dividing the territory into two states, one Arab and one Jewish. The 1948 Palestine war ended with the territory of Mandatory Palestine divided among the State of Israel, the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan, which annexed territory on the West Bank of the Jordan River, and the Kingdom of Egypt, which established the \"All-Palestine Protectorate\" in the Gaza Strip.

Etymology
See also: Timeline of the name \"Palestine\"
The name given to the Mandate\'s territory was \"Palestine\", in accordance with local Palestinian Arab and Ottoman usage[13][14][15][16] and with European tradition.[b] The Mandate charter stipulated that Mandatory Palestine would have three official languages: English, Arabic and Hebrew.

In 1926, the British authorities formally decided to use the traditional Arabic equivalent to the English name, and its Hebrew transcription i.e. Filasţīn (فلسطين) and Pālēśtīnā (פּלשׂתינה) respectively. The Jewish leadership proposed that the proper Hebrew name should be ʾĒrēts Yiśrāʾel (ארץ ישׂראל, Land of Israel). The final compromise was to append the initials of the Hebrew proposed name, Alef-Yod, within parenthesis (א״י) after Pālēśtīnā whenever the Mandate\'s name was mentioned in Hebrew in official documents.[18][19] The Arab leadership saw this compromise as a violation of the mandate terms. Some Arab politicians suggested \"Southern Syria\" (سوريا الجنوبية, Sūriyā al-Janūbiyya) as the Arabic name instead. The British authorities rejected this proposal; according to the Minutes of the Ninth Session of the League of Nations\' Permanent Mandates Commission:

Colonel Symes explained that the country was described as \"Palestine\" by Europeans and as \"Falestin\" by the Arabs. The Hebrew name for the country was the designation \"Land of Israel\", and the Government, to meet Jewish wishes, had agreed that the word \"Palestine\" in Hebrew characters should be followed in all official documents by the initials which stood for that designation. As a set-off to this, certain of the Arab politicians suggested that the country should be called \"Southern Syria\" in order to emphasise its close relation with another Arab State.[20]

The adjective \"mandatory\" indicates that the entity\'s legal status derived from a League of Nations mandate; it derives from the meaning of \"mandate\" as \"authorization\" rather than from \"mandatory\" in the sense of \"compulsory\".[21] Payment Mangaed via Shipping Royal Mail Tracked 48hr Terms of Sale Private seller About Us Private seller Contact Us via Showcase your products with Auctiva\'s image tools and templatesShowcase your listings with 300+ unique Auctiva templates
