Poster

The Dawes Act of 1887 (also known as the General Allotment Act or the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887),[1][2] authorized the President of the United States to survey Native American tribal land and divide it into allotments for individual Native Americans. Those who accepted allotments and lived separately from the tribe would be granted United States citizenship. The Dawes Act was amended in 1891, in 1898 by the Curtis Act, and again in 1906 by the Burke Act.

What caused concern among arabs living in palestine in 1922
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The British authorities conducted their first census in Palestine in 1922. There were 680,000 Arabs and 84,000 Jews. The Jews were just 12% of the Arab population. Those numbers increased due to large migration in the following decades. The GDP of the Jewish economy in 1922 was just 25% of that of the Arab GDP, but the Jewish standard of living measured in GDP per capita  was twice that of the Arab. In that year, too, Jewish immigration was limited by the British, but the measure would be soon reversed.
