The Arab Revolt and the British Mandat

The period of 1936 through 1939 saw the great arab revolt a mean al-houssani would eventually flee the country for his role in the revolt. The revolt was simultaneously in opposition to zionist settlement as well as british occupation and ultimately the revolt was disastrous when many historians argue that it clearly failed in its goals. In 1933 the nazis and some german scientists controversially signed the havara agreement which allowed german jews to flee germany to palestine while being able to retain some of their property and assets this further facilitated ongoing settlement.
