The First World War could be described as an event in history that had a transformative tendency especially to the Middle East. The Mandate system was “an institution that tried to gloss over the ground despite United State’s President Woodrow Wilson’s proposal of self-determination”. This mandate system divides three states into Britain or French rule and therefore, created tension between Zionists and Palestinians which ultimately led to the immigration of the Jews.
