Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, the League of Nations granted the British a mandate over the former Ottoman possession of Palestine. This area was the target of Zionist aspirations for a Jewish homeland or state, and thus it saw a large influx of Jewish immigrants escaping persecution in Europe and with them capital. The immigrants, the ruling British, and the Arabs came into conflict many times during the Mandate. By the early 1940s many surrounding Arab nations had emerged from French and British colonial rule and in 1945, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Transjordan, and Yemen formed the Arab League to coordinate policy between the Arab states.
Exhausted by WWII, Britain sought to reassess its position and policy in Palestine and other locations in the mid-1940s. After efforts to negotiate with the Arabs and the Zionists, the British government referred the Palestine issue to the United Nations in February 1947. After extensive evaluation of the situation, the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) proposed that the territory of the British mandate west of the Jordan River be partitioned into Jewish and Arab states with Jerusalem under international control.
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved a plan, which partitioned the British Mandate of Palestine into two states: one Jewish and one Arab. Each state would be composed of three major sections, linked by extraterritorial crossroads, plus an Arab enclave at Jaffa. The Greater Jerusalem area would fall under international control. Both Jews and Arabs criticized aspects of the plan. The Jewish population largely welcomed the plan, but the Arab leadership and some Jewish opposition groups rejected it.
Right after the UN partition plan was approved, heavy fighting broke out in Palestine. The British representatives, having no desire to maintain order and their force waning, effectively left the Jews and Arabs alone to fight between themselves. During the next six months, most of the fighting was be made using guerrilla tactics, small Arab and Jewish forces conducting brief gunfights at various spots, without achieving any territorial goal but for the protection of the de-facto limits.
On May 13, 1948 the Arab League met and agreed to send regular troops into Palestine when the Mandate expired. On May 14, 1948 the British Mandate expired. The State of Israel declared itself as an independent nation and the Arab armies attacked from all sides.
