Question

Why did britain withdraw from the palestine mandate in 1947

Answer 1

The British withdrew from the Palestinian Mandate because they did not support the United Nations’ vote recommending to divide Palestine into two states, one for the Arabs and one for the Jews on November 29, 1947.  The British refused to comply because it was unfair to the Arabs.  They also refuse to work with the U.N. Commission and it difficult for them to carry out their work.  They instead spent the remainder of their rule to make sure that they would not be blamed for the partition and began withdrawing their troops during the final months of the mandate.
