In 1945, Edwin Sundberg, an American cartographer, crafted a map of Palestine titled "Palestine Land of Strife." This map intricately detailed the expanse stretching from Sidon to the Dead Sea and from the Mediterranean to Damascus. It meticulously labeled cities and towns while highlighting the network of modern highways connecting significant population centers.  

This map emerged against the backdrop of profound political and social turbulence in Palestine. Having overseen Mandatory Palestine since 1922, the British administration faced mounting pressure from both the Jewish and Arab communities. The Jewish faction sought the establishment of a Jewish state, while the Arab population vehemently opposed any division of Palestine.

Sundberg's map serves as a visual testament to the palpable tensions prevailing in Palestine during this period. Its title, "Palestine Land of Strife," aptly underscores the brewing conflict between these two communities. Moreover, the map delineates the distinct areas of Palestine predominantly inhabited by Jewish or Arab populations.

Published in 1945, just a few months prior to the United Nations' historic vote to partition Palestine into two states—one Jewish and one Arab—the map presaged the turmoil that lay ahead. The partition proposal met with rejection from the Arab community, sparking violent clashes in Palestine. Consequently, the British withdrew from the region in 1948, culminating in the proclamation of the State of Israel.
