Describe the Mandate System established by the League of Nations and how Britain and France were the primary beneficiaries of that arrangement.

After the fall of the Ottoman and German empires with the end of the First World war, there remained the issue of who would take over the territories and colonies of the empire.

To this end, the League of Nations established a Mandate System where these territories were either out rightly given to other victorious nations or were managed on behalf of the League of Nations by a victorious country in the World War.

This system benefitted the British and the French the most who went on to divide most of the territories in question amongst themselves. The British for instance, took over Palestine, Iraq, Tanzania, and parts of Cameroon and Togo.

The French took Syria, Cameroon and parts of Togoland.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
