From the Paper:

"The modern history of Israel begins with the First World War, which brought about the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. The Treaty of Sevre in 1920 first laid out the framework for the division of the Ottoman Empire. Following the Turkish War of Independence, this treaty was superceded by the Treaty of Lausanne. The division resulted in several former territories of the Ottomans falling under the jurisdiction of various European powers. Mesopotamia, the Palestine and Transjordan came under British administration, known as a Mandate. Nearby Lebanon and Syria came under French Mandate."
