In the First Aliyah, or wave of Jewish immigration to Palwstine, from 1881-82 to 1903 an estimated 25,000 Jews settled there. In the Second Aliyah from 1904 to 1914, Jewish immigration to Palestine was about 35,000. Palestine was defined as extending in a north-south direction from the River Litani in OTL Lebanon to Rafah, south-east of Gaza. Its western boundary was the Mediterranean Sea. Its eastern border went slightly east of Amman. (3)
The Great War ended before British troops could conquer Palestine, so it remained part of the Ottoman Empire. There was no Balfour Declaration. Jewish immigration to Palestine continued after the war, though at a lower level than in the First or Second Aliyahs.
