<u>One of the most famous law codes that have been preserved along history</u> is actually <u>the Code of Hammurabi</u>, which he used to rule Babylon. Nowadays it is exhibited at Louvre, in Paris.
The Code of Hammurabi dates back to 1754 BC. He used a large carved stone to list a set of rulings, mainly punishments, which adjusted with different intensity levels the principle <em>"an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" . </em>The code includes the first manifestations of contract law, property law or family law and also regulations concerning transactions or social responsibilities.
The mandate system had the effect of creating new borders and new countries that exist to this day in the Middle East. It also set up some future issues for Middle East conflict.
Context/detail:
When World War I erupted, the Ottoman Empire sided with Germany as part of the "Central Powers." In the end, the Central Powers lost and the Turkish empire of the Ottomans ceased to exist as an empire. Turkey remained as a country, but it lost control over other territories that it had held before.
The League of Nations created a system for governing former German and Ottoman territories, called "the mandate system." The mandate system authorized a member nation of the League of Nations to govern a former German or Turkish colonial area after the conclusion of World War I. There were mandate territories for former German territories in Africa and Asia, as well for former Ottoman territories in the Middle East.
The former Turkish provinces of Syria, Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were divided into a French mandate territory and British mandate territory. The British mandate rule over Palestine, in particular, has much to do with the history of the development of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
