大象传媒

A century since the British and French Mandates in the Middle East formally began, Tom Bateman draws on his years as a 大象传媒 Correspondent based in Jerusalem to examine this critical period in the region鈥檚 history. In this second episode Tom looks at the 1930s, when immigration and a nationalist uprising put extraordinary pressure on British rule in Palestine. He reveals how, from institutions and movements of people to ideas and lines on maps, the decisions taken by Britain then still affect the region today, yet remain little understood in Britain.
