The Mandate for Palestine came into effect under the authority of the League of Nations, assigning the British government the responsibility for the administration of Palestine. This was a direct consequence of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, which had ruled the region for centuries. The League of Nations sought to address the competing national aspirations of Jews and Arabs in Palestine, balancing British commitments made during the war, including the Balfour Declaration that supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Consequently, the complex situation in Palestine required careful handling as both Jewish immigration increased, encouraged by British policies, and Arab nationalism began to assert itself in response to these changes.With the implementation of the mandate, Britain faced the challenge of fulfilling its international obligations while dealing with rising tensions between different communities in Palestine. The British mandate transformed the political landscape, effectively creating a new administrative unit intended to lead to eventual self-governance. However, the dynamics established during this period laid the groundwork for future conflicts over land, identity, and sovereignty that would shape the region for decades to come, significantly affecting the lives of Palestinians and the diaspora of Jewish communities arriving from Europe and elsewhere.
