	The [[United Kingdom]] had agreed in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence that it would honour Arab independence if they revolted against the Ottomans, but the two sides had different interpretations of this agreement, and in the end the UK and France divided up the area under the Sykes–Picot Agreement — an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs.

	During the British Mandate period the area experienced the ascent of two major fascist movements, one among the minority ~~Jews~~ and the other among the majority Palestinian Arabs.

	In September 1947, the British cabinet decided that the Mandate was no longer tenable, and to evacuate Palestine. According to Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech Jones, four major factors led to the decision to evacuate Palestine: the inflexibility of ~~Jewish~~ and Arab negotiators who were unwilling to compromise on their core positions over the question of a ~~Jewish~~ state in Palestine, the economic pressure that stationing a large garrison in Palestine to deal with the ~~Jewish~~ insurgency, and the possibility of a wider ~~Jewish~~ rebellion and the possibility of an Arab rebellion place upon a British economy already ruined by [[World War II]], the "deadly blow to British patience and pride" caused by the ~~Jewish~~ terrorist hangings of several British Arm sergeants, and the mounting criticism the government faced in failing to find a new policy for Palestine in place of the 1939 'White Paper'.

	On 29 November 1947, the [[United Nations]] General Assembly adopted Resolution 181 (II) recommending the adoption and implementation of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union.

The ~~Jewish~~ Agency, which claimed to be the representative of the ~~Jewish~~ community in Palestine, accepted the plan, which assigned to ~~Jews~~ – a third of the population owning less than 7% of the land – 55–56% of Mandatory Palestine.

The situation spiraled into a civil war; just two weeks after the UN vote, the British Colonial Secretary announced that the British Mandate would end on 15 May 1948, at which point the British would evacuate the country.
