The Arabs, who at this time viewed the area as "Southern Syria," protested the mandate. European anti-Semetism and fascism forced many Jews to immigrate to the Mandate in the 1930s and 1940s. The was an Arab revolt against British rule in 1936-1939. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted to partition the Mandate into Jewish and Arab states.
