✦ Synopsis

The publication of the 1939 White Paper marked a radical change in British Policy towards Palestine and evisaged an independent Palestine with an Arab majority. Largely an effort to secure Arab support against Germany, its only practical effect was to restrict Jewish immigration at a crucial moment when the Nazi persecution was at its height.
