British Royal Commission of Inquiry headed by Lord Peel.
Location
Concerning Mandatory Palestine
Causes
Appointed by the UK government, this was a British Royal Commission of Inquiry headed by Lord Peel, who’s job was to investigate the conflict in Mandatory Palestine following the six-month-long Arab general strike.
Facts
The Commission explored what was happening in Mandatory Palestine and found that Arabs and Jews were bitterly divided over what to do with the land.
Though Arabs benefited from the increase in Jewish productivity in the land, this has no positive impact on the two groups working together.
This was the first time partition was formally recommended.
Outcome
In 1938 the Woodhead Commission was appointed to examine the report in detail to recommend an actual partition plan.
