The origins of the Israel-Palestine conflict | Part 1

- The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917. It set out British support for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. But when the Balfour declaration was signed the British had already promised Palestine to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone - and even then, most of the land was still under Ottoman control.
So why did Britain make these three conflicting promises? How did it try to resolve them? And how did Britain’s strategy in the Middle East help to cause a century of conflict?

Thanks for watching, look out for part 2 coming soon!
Amazing! I'm looking forward to the second part!
this is the most neutral presentation of facts on the palestinian conflict by any channel on YT. the channel has no motive and no history of any political leanings except to present history as it was. thank you for presenting history as it was and to let the viewers make their own opinion based on the facts, who grabbed from whom and why the losers are persistent thorns on those who won.
I love your videos. You have helped me learn about history way faster than ever
If it's not your land how do you promise it to someone else ! ! !
PART 2 please. amazing clarity
Thanks for creating vids relating to modern day events. Truly educational and entertaining!
Looking forward to seeing the second part!
I just discovered your channel and am enjoying listening to this video, a topic I studied as a student.
Can't wait till the part two. wonderful episode.
A clear informational video that shows the history of the region. Looking forward to part two.
yup
Highly recommened video. Provides some good elaboration on UK's political strategy in the region.
Well at the current situation it can be an explosive topic, but very informative to form one's own opinion..
Just one point; as I understand it, the Sykes-Picot lines were not random doodlings by diplomats, they were based on the Ottoman Administrative regions, as you would expect.
This seemed to end suddenly. Will there be a second episode?
Great description of the situation, very impressive
And there I was thinking that Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Olden took the surrender of Damascus on 1 October 1918, hours before Feisal and Lawrence arrived.
In the past, Europe, including England and France, caused global instability, affecting non-European countries. It's surprising that Great Britain isn't more active in resolving conflicts, with the United States taking a more prominent role instead.
Is there an IWM video about TE Lawrence? I’d be interested in that.
