The British didn't take Palestine for money it literally cost the British tax payer money to hold Palestine. Seeing everything capitalist country do through the eyes of making money is a blind spot that has led to Marxist academic who use such perspective miss calculating the path of event time and again.

"Hussein bin Ali al Hashimi named himself the king of those regions after the Arab Revolt. But then once World War I ended Syria and Lebanon were given to France and Palestine was given to the United Kingdom."

The British compensated Hussein bin Ali al Hashimi with control of Iraq for the loss of Syria. Pretty fair compensation.

The British gave the leader of the Arab revolt vast amounts of territory the fact that they didn't get everything they thought they were entitled to is whiny talk that disquise just how fortunate they were in what they were granted relative to there contribution to the war.

The average size of the force of the Arab revolt during most of the war was about 5000 men comparatively the total force of the British empire were over 7500000 men so technically 1/7500 time smaller then the British contribution. Almost every battle and campaign against the Turks which freed the Arabs was fought and won by regular British troops the Arabs were merely a raiding force against poorly defended rear areas.

The only reason the British took Palestine was so they can keep there promise to the Jews of a nationl home in Palestine.

But you know what the word national home land sound like it sounds to me like they were avoiding the word nation.

Because they never promised there own country nor did they promise that millions of Jews across the world could expect to migrate and take over the country from the Arabs.

The Russia civil war started in 1917 so during the period of drought in southern iran from 1917 to 1919 there traditional source of imports in Russia was cut of by the war they were also cut of from their own northern crops by the Russia occupation. This is what caused the famine not the British.

The British did give the Arabs the land they promised Hussein bin Ali and his sons got given control of Jordan, Syria and Iraq.

An enormously generous reward for there contribution when you consider that the total force of the Arab revolt were barely 1/1000 that of the British forces during the war who did most of the work of taking these land from the Turks who has previously ruled the Arabs.

The Jews also got the right to migrate to Israel as the British promised but after the arab started resistance to high levels of migration did they start putting a limit on the speed of migration.

The British never promised the Jews a literal Jewish nation nor unlimited migration merely that they could settle in underpopulated area of palestine Nor were the British responsible for the famine in Iran it was mainly the civil war in the soviet union that spilled over into Iran that caused the famine because Russia and the northern part of iran were where the food would have been imported from in the case of a drought.
