League of Nations Mandate in the Middle East under British administration (1920–1948)
Mandatory Palestine was a territory in the Middle East placed under British control by the League of Nations after World War I, lasting from 1920 to 1948. It matters because during this period, Jewish immigration increased significantly and political tensions grew between Jewish and Arab populations over land and representation, ultimately shaping the region's future.
