The British conquest of Jerusalem took place in December 1917. In the second episode dedicated to Jerusalem in World War One, I discuss the value of Jerusalem for the British during the war, how this changed but more importantly once the British began to plan the conquest of Palestine, how policy makers began to invest time and effort in order to prepare for the much awaited conquest of the Holy City. Later in the podcast I discuss the British conquest of the city, the military operation and how the city was surrendered. Lastly, I discuss how Jerusalemites reacted and experienced the first few years of British rule. Originally published on 07/06/2022Welcome to Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast.
