WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mandate system in Arab states Britain held mandates over Palestine, Iraq, and the newly created Transjordan. To mollify the Arabs, the British made the sons of the Sharif of Mecca rulers of two of these new states: Faisal was made king of Iraq, and Abdullah was made king of Transjordan, later Jordan.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 1920, soon after the end of World War I, the League of Nations mandated that Lebanon would be administered by France after the Partition of the Ottoman Empire. Lebanon officially became part of the French colonial empire, as part of the French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon, and was administered from Damascus.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1922 Syria became a French mandate. The French faced a series of uprisings from 1925 to 1927. Syria declared its independence in 1941 and achieved recognition as an independent republic in 1944, but didn’t win real independence until 1946, when France pulled its troops out of the country.

Detailed explanation-4: -On 19 December 1945 an Anglo-French agreement was eventually signed – both British from Syria and French forces from the Lebanon were to be withdrawn by early 1946. The French evacuated the last of their troops in April of that year whilst the British left in July.
