What was the immediate result of the United Nations resolution (which went into effect in May 1948) to partition (divide) Palestine into two states one Jewish and one Arab?
War. The Jewish refugees in Palestine obviously accepted the resolution. However, Palestine, supported by the Arab states, protested. As the Jewish population in Palestine attacked Arab families, evicting them from newly made Jewish neighborhoods, the Arab states invaded. It could be contended that Israel knew that the war was coming and had to defend itself - and couldn't risk a fifth column.

What was created out of the country of Palestine that previously had no Jewish population?
Answer 1The question expresses an untruth. Jews have lived in the Holy land for many centuries; with several significant communities for at least 500 years.Answer 2For the sake of answering the question, this is alluding to Israel. However, as Answer 1 notes, there has consistently been a Jewish population in the southern Levant (commonly termed the Holy Land). By the time the United Nations approved the partition plan (which would effectively "create" the country) Jews represented just under half of the population of the Mandate of Palestine.
