The civil War in Palestine of 1947-1948 lasted from November 30 1947 to May 14 1948. The end of the war marks the end of the british mandate on Palestine.
This period constitutes the first phase of the Palestine War of 1948 during which the Jewish community and the Arabic community of Palestine confront themselves while the British, that are supposed there to ensure there security, organize their withdrawal and intervene only occasionally.
Following this phase of the war, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War will start on May 15, with the creation of Israel and the entry at war of the armies of several Arabic states that are nearby.
After May 15, the conflict in palestinien evolves to a war inbetween Israel and the league of Arab states.
Background
Starting in 1920, Palestine was under the control of British administrations but there was fighting inbetween the Jews, Nationalists, Zionist and Arabic Palestinians that oppose each other and the occupying British empire.
The Palestinian fighting peaked with the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, it was carried out by the Palestinian nationalists, and it was opposed at the same time by the Zionists. The British oppression was bloody and the reaction of the Zionist organizations was violent. The consequences of the fighting was heavym the revolt left close to 5000 Arabic dead and 500 Jews dead. The Zionists reinforced themselves and most of the members of the Palestinian political elite were stopped and sent into exile. Among these, the boss of the Arab Higher Committee, Mohammad Amin al-Husayni takes refuge in Germany, where he looks for a support for his cause.
After the Second World War the movement Zionist attracts sympathy. In Palestine, the groups of the upright Zionist fight the occupying british. The palestinian nationalists reorganize themselves but remain inferior to the zionists. Nevertheless, the weakening of the colonial powers reinforced the Arabic countries and the Arab League.
