24/08/2011 -- Until 1923, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire.
In December 1917, British troops entered Jerusalem and ended 400
years of Ottoman rule. In 1922, the League of Nations issued the
Mandate of Palestine which authorized the United Kingdom to
become the Mandatory Power in Palestine.
The Mandate Document, however, included several paradoxical

of the League's Charter.
Major stipulations
The Mandate Document included several paragraphs, which were
considered by many historians and international lawyers as flagrant
breaches of the word and spirit of the Mandate system. The system
was intended to protect the territories occupied by the British and

The MD, contrary to that system, stipulated that the UK must develop
the territory of Palestine in cooperation with the Jewish Agency in
order to achieve a national home for the Jewish people, ignoring the
real interests of the vast majority of Palestinian Arabs or Palestine.
In 1922 Palestine was still considered as a part of the sovereignty of
the Ottoman Empire, which became Turkey after that date. It wasn't
until Turkey signed the Lausanne Treaty in 1932 that Turkey
relinquished her claim to sovereignty on Palestine. Thus, the MD was
