In 1918 the British captured Palestine from the Ottoman Turks. They planned to include Palestine as a colony of the British Empire. The British aimed to establish a foothold in the Middle East and advance their interests in the region, specifically vis-a-vis the oil fields of the area. The British Mandate for Palestine began at a time of rising nationalism, both among the Arabs and the Jews of Palestine. The British policy was to appease the Arabs and the Jews of Tzfat suffered. The Arab-Jewish town of [[Safed]] was a key player in the events of the era and the British were hard-pressed to keep order in the city. | In 1918 the British captured Palestine from the Ottoman Turks.
