๐Ÿ“… 11 October 1936 ๐Ÿ“ Palestine

Organizations/movement: Arab Higher Committee. Action: Following appeals by Arab rulers and accumulating pressure, the AHC called off the general strike and agreed to appear before the Peel Commission. Result: Economic activity resumed, while the principal political demands remained unresolved. Impact / interpretation: The decision illustrates the limits imposed by hardship, repression and dependence on regional diplomacy. Ending the strike was a strategic transition, not a grant of independence or a final end to resistance.
