Listen "S3 EP11: Legacies of the British Mandate in Palestine"
Episode Synopsis
Explore a crucial chapter in Middle Eastern history as we delve into the British Mandate in Palestine, which spanned from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. This period was marked by the emergence of nationalist movements and uprisings from both Arab and Jewish communities. Many viewed this era as a betrayal of the promised Arab independence, as it saw successive waves of Jewish immigration. This ultimately led to the United Nations’ plan to partition the territory. Join us for a timely examination of how the British administration in post-Ottoman Palestine still resonates today.
