📅 25 April 1936 📍 Palestina

The Arab Higher Committee called a general strike demanding an end to British rule, an end to Jewish immigration and land purchases, and an independent representative government. The strike became the opening phase of the Great Palestinian Revolt, rooted in dispossession, rural debt, and opposition to the Mandate's support for a Jewish national home. Britain later crushed the revolt through mass arrests, executions, curfews, and house demolitions.
