This is where the story of Lawrence of Arabia comes from and they're going to fight the Ottoman Empire and defeat them and then the British are going to put their big fat foot in that land and they're going to claim a mandate over that land. They're going to control it until the end of World War II. But at this point, the British are going to adopt the position in something called the Balfour Declaration, which was in a letter from the foreign minister of Great Britain to the Rothschild, the banking lord, the Baron Rothschild, who was a British Zionist. The British were going to support the creation of a Jewish state. They didn't say it would be Israel yet, but they made that declaration in 1917. I'm not exactly why they did it. There are theorists that believe that this is the same time that the United States is kind of jumping into World War I and maybe to curry favor with the Wilson administration.
