The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917. It set out British support for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. But when the Balfour declaration was signed the British had already promised Palestine to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone – and even then, most of the land was still under Ottoman control.

So why did Britain make these three conflicting promises? How did it try to resolve them? And how did Britain’s strategy in the Middle East help to cause a century of conflict?

this is the most neutral presentation of facts on the palestinian conflict by any channel on YT. the channel has no motive and no history of any political leanings except to present history as it was. thank you for presenting history as it was and to let the viewers make their own opinion based on the facts, who grabbed from whom and why the losers are persistent thorns on those who won.

I just discovered your channel and am enjoying listening to this video, a topic I studied as a student. Having worked in Central Asia, the picture at 6:22 is of a group in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, or Tajikistan -- I'm going by the architecture and the clothes they wear.

And there I was thinking that Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Olden took the surrender of Damascus on 1 October 1918, hours before Feisal and Lawrence arrived.

Great video but so few views 😢 Pretty much confirms to few truly care about the issue and how it might get resolved.

A clear informational video that shows the history of the region. Looking forward to part two.

Wonderful video, as always. Thank you. Note: the bottom part of Africa is not the Horn of Africa.

In the past, Europe, including England and France, caused global instability, affecting non-European countries. It's surprising that Great Britain isn't more active in resolving conflicts, with the United States taking a more prominent role instead.
