With two folding maps showing parts of the Palestine territory that had been surveyed in detail. Detailed report to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations regarding the British controlled Mandate of Palestine. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I the Empire’s territories in the Middle East were divided between Great-Britain and France with the exception of the newly created Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and ruled as mandates on behalf of the League of Nations. The Mandate of Palestine was one of the territories governed by Great-Britain on behalf of the League of Nations and the British government had to produce an annual report of the territory’s government for the League of Nations. The first proper report was produced in 1924 and they were produced every year thereafter until 1938. The reports contain extensive information on the region at that specific period describing the economy politics judicial system public health technological works and religious matters. The growing unrest in the Arab population and its strife for independence which would lead to the 1936-1939 revolt against British rule is already clearly visible in the report.In very good condition.
