Running Head: BRITISH MANDATE GOVERNMENT British Mandate Government in the Palestinian Defeat of 1948 NAME: COURSE: INSTRUCTOR: DATE: In 1921, British crabbed the 91,000 square kilometers of the Palestine Mandate in eastern part of the Jordan River, and formed Trans-Jordan(the Arab country of Jordan), a new Arab protectorate. Towards 1923 also, Britain ceded another 1,176 square kilometers of Palestine Mandate to the Syrian French Mandate. Jews were forcibly commanded to move from the Golan Heights to the eastern part of the British Mandate (Marlowe, 1959). However, the immigration of Jews was limited by the British from time to time, especially during the periods of Arab riots in 1939 (Newton, 1948). The table below gives further explanation about the utilization of the Palestine land by the British mandate.
By the time British took over in 1824, the focus of the trade has shifted from Malacca to Singapore and Penang. Malacca however becomes the focal again during the struggle for independence after the Japanese Occupation during the Second World War and the British Colonial period that followed. So when Malaya gained its independence, it was only fitting that the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed in Malacca, where it all began. In 1989, Malacca has been declared as Malaysia's history
The name of the island was later anglicized by the inhabitants into Tristan da Cunha. In 1816, the United Kingdom annexed the island, taking control of it. They used it as a marine military base for a number of decades in the 19thcentury, before it fell into disuse after the construction of the Suez Canal. The Second World War, however, brought renewed purpose to the island. It was used as a top secret British naval station, codenamed HMS Atlantic Isle.
In 1895 the French peacefully negotiated a protectorate over Yatenga; in 1896 they forcefully occupied Ouagadougou; and in 1897 they annexed Gourma and the lands of the Bobo, Lobi, and Gurunsi peoples. An Anglo-French agreement in 1898 established the boundary with the Gold Coast (now Ghana) (Liebhardt 2007, 78-106). The region of present-day Burkina Faso was administered as part of the French colony of Soudan (then called Upper Senegal-Niger and now mostly part of Mali) until 1919, when it was made a separate protectorate as Upper Volta. In 1932, it was divided among Côte d'Ivoire, Soudan, and Niger for administrative convenience. In 1947, Upper Volta was reestablished as a separate territory within the French Union, and in 1958 it became an autonomous republic within the French
In Egypt, they had a treaty named Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 where the Egyptians gained independence in exchange for British military control over the Suez Canal for 20 years.

Does the Federal Government have too much Power? From the time of the Articles of Confederation to the beginning of the Constitution, power tensions between the federal government and the state governments have always been an issue. This ongoing struggle between governments has left a hole in our nation’s upbringing. Questions have arisen as to whom should be allowed to enforce what laws, due to the fine line separating federal and state. Hundreds of political figures have attempted to create a rule to serve as a guideline for the division of power; however nothing has seemed to work.
What problems faced Elizabeth in 1558? To understand the issues that Elizabeth faced in her reign it is important to look at the problems that preceded her. Historians such as Whitney Jones have written about a mid-Tudor crisis starting for the last years of Henry VIII’s reign and it’s characterised by weak leadership from the monarchs and their courts. Inflation was a serious issue in late Tudor England, triggered by the debasement of the coinage under Henry VIII and Edward VI. It was a period of intense rebellions such as the Wyatt’s rebellion, or factional fighting in court for example; Edward’s court was ridden with the visions of the dukes of Northumberland (John Dudley) and Somerset (Edward Seymour).
Then in 1930, he comes up with the idea that an Islam country would have to be made separate from India, once India becomes independent. Then in 1947, 14th of August Jinnah gives this speech on the public radio as the inauguration of a Muslim country called Pakistan. Both speeches by Nehru and Jinnah are similar as in the context and usage of particular words like “destiny” and “peace”. First of all, both speeches celebrate the birth of their countries as independent states, and talk about all the sacrifices made
The Scratch of a Pen The year of 1763 marked an important year in the transformation of North America. This year marked many struggles in America between the Indians, British, Spanish, French, and the colonist. The events of 1763 not only redrew the political map of North America, but the also changed its human geography. Diseases and wars over power and land were the main causes for death and confrontations throughout this book since everybody wanted to gain control these vast lands. During this period of time Benjamin Franklin described, “everything seems in this country, once the land of peace and order, to be running fast into anarchy and confusion.” In the book this is clearly apparent with the power balances between colonist, natives and the present British army.
