aug 10, 1920 - Treaty of Sèvres

Britain was given a Mandate to rule over Palestine until the Arabs were 'considered ready to govern themselves'.This greatly angered the Arabs, because they had been promised by McMahon that Britain would support their independence after hundreds of years of unwanted Ottoman rule.
