After World War I, the British in Palestine were handed an ambiguous brief: to encourage the formation of a national home for the Jews and to protect the civil and religious rights of the local Arabs. This text documents the British administration in Palestine from 1917, tracing policies of conciliation and persuasion, through to the use of force and the eventual collapse of British rule in 1948.
