Description: In 1917 the British army entered Palestine. The British government had been conducting discussions with three different groups of people, the French, the Arabs and the Zionist Organisation, as to the future of Palestine – and proposed different solutions to each. What influenced Britain’s thinking on Palestine? This talk will explore the factors that shaped British policy on Palestine from the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the Palestine War in 1948.
