The '''San Remo Resolution''' came from the San Remo Conference that took place in April 1920 in San Remo, [[Italy]]. The conferees set forth boundaries for territories captured in the just-concluded [[First World War]]. This included territories taken from the Ottoman Empire by [[United Kingdom|British]] forces, and by the [[Arab]] guerilla coalition led by [[Major]] [[T. E. Lawrence]] ("Lawrence of Arabia").
Among the key declarations was that the land then known as [[Palestine]] come under British mandatory rule (and that [[Lebanon]] come under [[France|French]] mandatory rule). The San Remo Resolution reaffirmed the 1919 declaration by [[Lord Balfour]], then the British Foreign Secretary, that the [[Judaism|Jewish]] people should have an ancestral homeland to return to.
