The Ottoman Turks captured Mamluk Palestine and Syria in 1516. With a brief interruption in the mid 19th Century, Ottoman rule of the region lasted until the Empire's collapse after losing in World War I. Palestine under Ottoman rule was divided between the vilayet (division) of Beirut and the Jerusalem Mutasarrifate. These were divided into administrative areas called sanjaks, which were furthers split into kazas. While Ottoman control of Palestine varied over the course of the Empire, major administrative forms in the 19th Century prompted the organization of censuses and population registers, recording valuable genealogical data.

British Colonization 1917-1948)[edit | edit source]
In the wake of World War I and the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire, Britain was granted a Mandate for Palestine on 25 April 1920 at the San Remo Conference, with the League of Nations formally adopting the Mandate in 1922. In 1947 the British Government announced its intention to terminate the Mandate.[1]
