Jerusalem Sanjak Explained
The Sanjak of Jerusalem (ota|سنجاق قدس|Sancâk-ı Kudüs; ar|سنجق القدس|Sanjaq al-Quds) was an Ottoman sanjak that formed part of the Damascus Eyalet for much of its existence.[1] It was created in the 16th century by the Ottoman Empire following the 1516–1517 Ottoman–Mamluk War.[2] It was detached from the Syrian eyalet and placed directly under the Ottoman central government, first for a brief period in 1841, and again in 1854.[3] An independent province, the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, was created in 1872.[4] It ceased to exist in 1917 during the Great War as a result of British progress on the Middle Eastern front,[5] when it became a British-administered occupied territory.[6]
