Changes

During World War I, the British government sought Jewish support and issued the '''Balfour Declaration''' promising a homeland -- but not an independent state--in Palestine. The League of Nations created a British mandate, with full control over Palestine in 1922.  Tens of thousands of Jews arrived, mostly from Europe.  Under the mandate, increasing violence occurred between the Jewish settlers and the Arabs settlers. Finally, the United Nations voted in November 1947 to partition Palestine, and the State of Israel was proclaimed on May 14, 1948.
