Hintergrund-Info:
In 1920, British civil administration was established in Palestine, the
southernmost of the formerly Turkish provinces bordering on the
Mediterranean. In 1923, the League of Nations formally placed the
territory under a British mandate. The Zionist Movement brought
increasing Jewish immigration into Palestine, causing an increasingly
bitter rivalry between Jewish Palestinians seeking to recreate the
ancient Jewish homeland and Arab Palestinians, who wished to create an
independent Arab Palestinian state.
In 1948, Britain partitioned the country
between the two groups and withdrew its forces, precipitating the first
Arab-Israeli War.
