A further word about the mandate system, since two of the items are related to that point.

The mandate system authorized a member nation of the League of Nations to govern a former German or Turkish colonial area after the conclusion of World War I.

There were mandate territories in Africa and Asia, as well as the Middle East.  The former Ottoman Empire provinces of Syria, Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were divided into a French mandate territory and British mandate territory.  

The British mandate rule over Palestine has much to do with the history of the development of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
