Britain controlled Palestine from WWI- WWII. European Imperialism in the Middle East. Palestine is modern day Israel.
Palestine was divided into Jewish & Arab sections after WWII! Why Palestine? Truman, supports Jewish State • After the Holocaust, Jewish groups began to call for a Jewish “homeland”. • Palestine was the “biblical” homeland. • Britain hands off the “question” of Palestine to the United Nations. • U.N. decided to “partition” Palestine into a Arab & Jewish State.
Israel was called Palestine before 1947 When it was divided into two countries; Israel and Palestine. Palestinian Arabs were removed from part of the land and forced to give that land to Jewish settlers.
