Arab Nationalism, a formidable force in Palestine after 1917, scarcely existed before World War I when Southern Syria, as it was then called, was a part of the Ottoman Empire. The EfendI class, the only segment of the population capable of leading such a movement, was content to share the administration of the area with ottoman officials from Constantinople. This class comprised about fifteen percent of the population and consisted of city dwelling families, dependent for their income on large tracts of land in the nearby countryside.
