The answer is Palestine.
In 1947, the state of Israel was created. This meant that the British gave up control of Palestine.
Before the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the British controlled what was then known as the 'Mandate for Palestine'. This was the name given to the Ottoman province of Palestine which was conquered by the British after the first World War.
As the Ottoman Empire kept on disintegrating, the British were able to develop Palestine into a small colony and eventually turned it into a modern country called the State of Israel.
