How did the British contribute to the conflicts in the Palestine mandate following world war 1?

Following World War I, the British played a significant role in the conflicts in the Palestine Mandate by implementing conflicting promises made to both Jewish and Arab populations. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 expressed support for a Jewish homeland, while the McMahon-Husayn Correspondence implied support for Arab independence. British policies and Immigration quotas often favored Jewish settlement, exacerbating tensions with the Arab population, leading to uprisings and violence. Their inability to effectively manage these competing nationalist aspirations ultimately contributed to longstanding conflict in the region.
