Original Note:
Palestine existed at least as far back as the 1400s, where maps of it could be purchase: https://www.loc.gov/item/2021668403/ Here is a map of it in the 1880s: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47d9-5eb5-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99 "Mandatory Palestine" meant that Britain was assigned control over the entity of Palestine, not that it was created out of whole cloth. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Palestine_Mandate_(1922)
