region of Palestine

[edit]

Are you saying that the British Mandatory period involved slavery in their Palestine? The Ottoman Empire had slavery but it had no region named Palestine. The Romans had slavery but no region of Palestine. 100.15.117.34 (talk) 12:14, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article simply describe the conditions in what is now called Palestine during the Ottoman and British period. There is an interest to describe things in what is now called Palestine also before Palestine was an entity. That is the custom in Wikipedia when adressing issues in areas that were not countries historically, but is now a country, or similar to that. It is practical. We also have, for example, "Category:Ottoman Palestine". --Aciram (talk) 14:55, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
