John Quigley

Britain and Its Mandate over Palestine

Legal Chicanery on a World Stage

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When Britain took control of Palestine from the Turkish Ottoman Empire in World War 1, it tried to find a way to gain a legal right both to govern Palestine and to facilitate a Jewish national home there. It never found one. As a result, the changes it brought about in Palestine lack a legal basis.
