Jerusalem was captured for the Allies during World War I by British forces led by General Edmund Allenby. The city fell on December 9, 1917, after a strategic campaign that included both military maneuvers and the use of cavalry. Allenby's forces aimed to undermine the Ottoman Empire's control in the region, contributing to the broader Allied efforts in the Middle East. This capture marked a significant moment in the war and had lasting implications for the future of the region.
