British withdrawal from Palestine, 1948 (Y321)

An A-level lesson based around the question: How far do you agree that Britain withdrew from Palestine in 1948 because of pressure from Zionists?
Students will use their existing knowledge to examine the role of long term causes such as the mandate and failure of British policy before examining short term causes during and after the Second World War. Students will categorise causes to create three key factors and detail evidence, explain the consequences, and analyse their causal role in the British decision to withdraw.
