When the first World War was declared not more

the fight on the side of Great Britain, its ally the United
States and the other Allies. With the Allies, they fought

enunciated by President Wilson - particularly the right of
self-determination. Nevertheless Great Britain adopted the
Balfour declaration and in its might embarked upon a policy
of admitting Jews into Palestine, in spite of the desires
of its prepondantly Arab population and in contradiction
to all democratic and human principles. The Arabs protested
