Original Note:
Whilst the region may have been known at the time as Palestine, there has never been an independent nation state known as such. https://www.un.org/unispal/history/ At the time of the maps mentioned (1905-17), the region was under occupation as part of Ottoman Syria: https://icsresources.org/wp-content/uploads/02-Levant-under-the-Ottomans.pdf And later the British Mandate (1917+): https://www.edmaps.com/html/palestine_in_ten_maps.html
