British Mandate of Palestine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_of_Palestine
[excerpt]
Population of the British Mandate of Palestine
In 1922 the British undertook the first census of the mandate. The
population was 752,048, comprising 589,177 Muslims, 83,790 Jews, 71,464
Christians and 7,617 persons belonging to other groups. The 1922 figures
may refer to both banks of the Jordan river, at least for the non-Jews.
After a second census in 1931, the population had grown to 1,036,339 in
total, comprising 761,922 Muslims, 175,138 Jews, 89,134 Christians and
10,145 people belonging to other groups. There were no further censuses but
statistics were maintained by counting births, deaths and migration. Some
components such as illegal immigration could only be estimated
approximately. In 1945 a demographic study showed that the population had
grown to 1,764,520, comprising 1,061,270 Muslims, 553,600 Jews, 135,550
Christians and 14,100 people of other groups.
