Arguably the role of the UN was the most important factor in the creation of Israel. In 1947 UNSCOP Was set up to investigate, and then recommend how to resolve the Palestine problem. The main recommendation was to divide Palestine, and set up both a Jewish and an Arab state, this would give the Jews 55% of the country and the Arabs 45%, this was officially accepted by the Jewish Agency, but the Arab higher committee declined it, this factor is so important because it led to the civil war a few days after the partition plan. The civil war also arguably an important factor in the creation of Israel because it helped the Jewish get more land and over 300,000 Arabs were expelled by the Jews, which meant more of the land was theirs. The civil war eventually led to the war of 1948-49 where 6 different Arab forces attacked Israel.
He is the creator of Zionism. Herzl devoted his life to creating the necessary political framework to achieve his goal of an independent Jewish state. He knew that the first step to creating a Jewish homeland had to be an international Jewish institution responsible for funding and organizing the new nation. After two years of being turned down by major Jewish philanthropists who viewed him as a zealous madman, Herzl presented his plan to the Jewish people. In 1896 he wrote a pamphlet, "The Jewish State," which described his goal of creating a separate nation for the Jews.

However, Nasser had forced the West into submission. The effect of his uprising eventually spread to other Arab nations. For example, Lebanon’s 1958 civil war between the existing regime and revolutionary currents had been influenced by Nasser’s ideas. This justifies the idea that Nasser casts an impact on Arab states and encourages Arab unity. The merging of Egypt and Syria in 1958 allowed Nasser to unify both states is another factor regarding the encouragement of Arab Unity.
Gar Alperovitz is Lionel. R. Baumen, professor of political economy at the University of Maryland college park department of government and politics. He is a former fellow of Kings College, Cambridge, a founding fellow of Harvard’s institute of politics, a fellow at the institute for policy studies and a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution. His book uses material from all available sources on atomic diplomacy during 1945: newspapers, diaries, official documents, letters and books by other historians. Its purpose is to revise the orthodox view of Truman's decision to drop the bomb as purely a means to end the war quickly, and to draw attention to the diplomatic importance of the atomic bomb, especially concerning the Soviet Union relations.
Take a side: The choice of dropping the Atomic Bomb was a humanitarian choice As seen in the Interim Committee’s intense deliberation, the use of the Atomic Bomb went under heavy moral examination. And sixty years later, scholars worldwide are still arguing the necessity and humanness of the a-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the summer of 1945. Many influential men including Winston Churchill thought of the use of the bombs as a humanitarian action that must be taken. In talking about those who were in opposition of the deployment of the bomb, Winston Churchill said: “…that rather than throw this bomb we should have sacrificed a million American and a quarter of a million British lives…” The conservative figure of a million
The ‘final solution’ of genocide was introduced at the Wannsee Conference of 1942. (Nichols, 2008). Most Historians divide into two schools when interpreting the Holocaust; the intentionalists and structualists. The intentionalists believe that Hitler’s intentions were clearly set out in Mein Kampf, early in his career, and when he came to power he and the Nazi party followed a step-by–step path to fulfilling these plans. Historians, Bracher and Jackel believed the holocaust was a completely intentional act, as Wyman states: “Intentionalism anchored Nazi behaviour in Hitler’s and his cohorts' deeply felt anti-Semitism, which they had formulated well before their ascent to power; once in power, they had put into practice what their intention had been all along.” (Wyman, p.419, 1996) Intentionalists argue everything in the Nazi period, was a deliberate move towards Hitler’s ultimate goals.
The Holocaust The Holocaust, in simple text, was a terrible event that resulted in the genocide of a proud population, the Jewish community. The Holocaust will forever scare the history of the men. Before Yiddish 399, I did not know a lot about the Holocaust. All I knew was the Jewish community was slightly oppressed in the beginning of the 1930’s to be suffer horrific tormenting well into the 1940’s. Through Yiddish 399, I am now able to discuss personal trials and tribulations of the holocaust, along with being able to discuss of how the Jewish community was oppressed due to the information I learned through the discussions in class, the novels, along with the films and documentaries.
There are many successes and failures of self-determination in the Middle East in the early twentieth century. In the analysis of the documents some successes might be that writers are asking for a home for the Zion Jewish people, the Ottoman Empire, and Syria. Failures might be the request for guardianship of the people to be entrusted to more advanced nations. Another failure might be that the General Syrian Congress opposed the creation of a Jewish commonwealth inside their borders, and also opposed any migration of such peoples into their country. Looking at the two maps ([doc.1], [doc.6]) I can see some successes and some failure.
The First was the exposures of the Holocaust and the Nazi regime’s extermination of 6 million Jews. The revelations made “the choice between identification and nonidentification as a Jew no longer appear to be a free” personal decision. In order to respect those Jews that were exterminated, they couldn’t abandon the faith that led those Jews in Europe to their death. Another reason for the return to organized Judaism was the “postwar renascence of religion” that affected the entire U.S. population after the Second World War. The last reason is related to Jewish identity.
