Protectorate of the Holy See

At the San Remo conference (19-26 April 1920), the Mandate for Palestine was allocated to Great Britain. France required the continuation of its religious protectorate in Palestine but Italy and Great Britain opposed it. France lost the religious protectorate, but, thanks to the Holy See, continued to enjoy liturgical honors in Mandatory Palestine until 1924, when the honors were abolished.[1] The precise boundaries of all territories, including that of the British Mandate for Palestine, were left unspecified, to "be determined by the Principal Allied Powers".[2] During that time, the British were in control of Palestine and the French took control of Syria, for which France had been given a mandate.[3][4][5]
