Mandatory Palestine V2
At long last, the Mandatory Palestine mod originally by CallMeEzekiel is back!
(As of now, I have taken over this mod. With permission, of course.)
Welcome, High Commissioner, to the British Mandate of Palestine! The year is 1936. While the rest of the world slowly moves toward war, you, as the High Commissioner, have your own problems to worry about. The Zionists in the Mandate are becoming increasingly displeased as the promise of an independent Jewish state remains unfulfilled. The Arabs, who before the Mandate had made up a far larger majority of the population, have become so upset by the influx of Jews that they are now in outright revolt!
Many options are available to you to solve these myriad problems. Great Britain, while desperately wishing to avoid war, must nonetheless be prepared. Within the Mandate are many paramilitary Zionist organizations who can aid their war effort, if given certain promises. With Great Britain’s security needs abetted, they will no doubt give us the support necessary to solve our problems.
Some within the Mandate government are sympathetic to the Zionist cause. Allowing them the opportunity to fulfill their agenda could force the British to terminate the Mandate entirely, giving the Zionists their own country and leaving them to deal with the Arabs.
Or perhaps you will just be replaced like the High Commissioners before you, giving others the chance to write history…

This mod for Hearts of Iron 4 adds the British Mandate of Palestine as a playable nation. It features a focus tree, advisors (all of whom were real people involved in the Mandate government and military), events, multiple historically accurate leaders, and all the other features you would expect from a nation developed by the actual designers of Paradox Development Studio.
With this mod, you will be able to direct the course of the Mandate through one of the most exciting times in its history. You will have the ability to play it historically accurately, and to use the Jewish militias, as well as the British soldiers stationed in the Mandate, to fight alongside the British and drive back the foes of the Empire. Many players, however, choose to take another route and change history!
In addition to the emergent alternate history possibilities offered by Hearts of Iron 4’s elaborate simulation, this mod adds new paths toward fighting against the British and creating the State of Israel in the midst of the chaos of World War 2!
In addition to everything listed above, players can also expect to find:
• A score of historically accurate (or alt-history relevant) events, most of which are triggered by player action, and the rest by historical record. These events affect Mandatory Palestine, Great Britain, Israel, and all of the neighboring Arab states.
• Both peaceful and military alt-history methods to create the State of Israel.
• Additional details for Israel, most notably a vastly expanded suite of advisors, all of whom represent real people who were involved in the creation/early history of the State of Israel.
• National Spirits for both Mandatory Palestine and Israel.
• Plenty of unique leader portraits of the many High Commissioners who presided over the Mandate between 1936 and 1948.
• Unique event pictures for highly-climactic events that you might encounter.
• And of course: Orde Wingate!

Now, with the Arab Revolt Expansion (along with everything listed above) players can expect to find:
• New events for Mandatory Palestine and Israel detailing the Arab Revolt, Peel Commission, White Paper and other important events that the original mod either did not cover or did not develop in detail.
• New National Spirits for Mandatory Palestine to help capture the spirit (and possible alt-history spirits) of the time.
• Buffing and additional details for the “Stay with Britain” track to make it a more attractive option.
• More unique event pictures for the added events.
• A rebalanced Focus Tree to make rushing for independence harder.
• Bug fixes such as fixing Mickey Marcus’s portrait.
• And of course: more Orde Wingate!
