Overview

This study describes the contribution of the British Administration to the development of Palestine between 1917-1929. It deals with the relation between a new modern government and changes in the landscape. The special character of the British Administration in Palestine helped to create a new state in the Middle East, a modern state with a geographic 'iconography' that reflected British taste and input. This view differs mainly with the political history of the area rather than its historical geography.
