To turn former German colonies into independent nations .

Explanation:

The mandate areas of the League of Nations were territories governed by a member state of the League of Nations under a special mandate given by it. Before World War I, these were the former German colonies in Africa and the Pacific Islands, as well as some areas that had previously belonged to Turkey in the Middle East.

Mandate governance was not intended to be permanent, but mandate areas had to be gradually developed towards self-government. However, no deadline had been set for their independence. In practice, however, the status of the mandate areas did not differ significantly from that of the colonies.

The purpose of the Mandate System as created by the Treaty of Versailles was to give Allied powers control over territory the Central powers once held .

The Mandate System:

Some examples of the mandate system in action was Britain getting Palestine from the Ottomans and France getting Syria.

In conclusion, the Mandate System allowed the allies to control previous Central Power territory.
