GERMAN POLICY TOWARDS THE PALESTINIAN CASE 1917-1933

Abstract

During World War I, Germany competed with Britain to win the Zionists’ favor by declaring a national home for the Jews, but Britain prevailed by declaring the Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917, Lord Rothschild, after its defeat in World War I and concluding the Treaty of Versailles 1919. The Weimar Republic, whose position was vacillating in the Palestinian cause, was established on despite its support for the establishment of a national home for the Jews in Palestine, and in view of the consequences of the Versailles Treaty on the internal conditions of Germany, Hitler succeeded in reaching power through the elections on January 30, 1933. The Nazi Party took power and thus began a new page in Germany's policy towards the Palestinian cause. The study structure was divided into an introduction and two axes. First: Germany's position on the Palestinian cause until 1917. Second: German policy towards the Palestinian cause 1917-1933. And a conclusion that included the most important findings and recommendations, including: 1 - The efforts of the Zionists resulted in the success that led Britain to give Zionism its support in establishing the Jewish state, and giving it the Balfour Declaration of 1917. For this reason, Palestine witnessed the beginning of the immigration of Zionist pioneers, this immigration that was financed by European Jewish capitalism. 5- After fifteen years, the Zionists were able to obtain what Herzl could not obtain from his British supporters, especially the imperialist care and protection of the Jewish national home, in the form of the Balfour Declaration, the Balfour Declaration of the British Foreign Secretary to the British Jew Lord Rothschild.
