Notes
This study aims to shed light on the most important changes that occurred in the port of Haifa during the era of the British Mandate until it was opened for international trade on October 31, 1933 AD. We addressed the issue in a number of axes: In the first axis, we discussed the port of Haifa during the Ottoman era. Then, in the second axis, we discussed the political and military motives that prompted Britain to cling to the port of Haifa in the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916. The third axis focused on the change in the commercial situation in Palestine after the war and how that prompted Britain to develop the port of Haifa, and the most important studies and surveys that were conducted on the Palestinian coast in 1923 AD and the results they yielded. We also studied the most important developments that occurred in the port as a result of the renovation operations that began in 1929 AD and ended in 1933 AD. As for the fourth axis, we discussed the opening ceremony of the port on October 31, 1933 AD, then We concluded the study with the fifth axis, in which we addressed the repercussions of the opening of the port at the economic and military levels, and finally we presented the most important results we reached in the conclusion of the study. This study aims to shed light on the changes that have occurred in Haifa port from the first decade of the 20th century to 1933 when it was officially dedicated for international trade, To introduce a decisive treatment for this topic, first we will provide historical background of the Port during the Ottoman Era. Second, we will handle the British purpose of keeping the Port under its control alongside with the Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916. Third, the study focuses on the commercial situation in Palestine after the first world war and how that led Britain to develop the port of Haifa. Last but not least, the study deals with the opening ceremony of the Port on 31 Oct. 1933 and concludes the main results of the study.
