Arab Disappointment!
Essential Question:
How did Britains actions in Palestine after 1918 lay the groundwork for the on-going conflict between the Jews and the Arabs in the Middle East today?
In 1920, there was 1 Jew to every 10 Arabs in Palestine. By 1947, the ratio was 2 Arabs for every Jew.
The Arabs felt that they were loosing control of their country!
