Zionists did not play any part in the Holocaust.
The Holocaust. This made many more non-Jews sympathetic to Zionism as well as convincing the more religious Jews of the necessity of the Jewish State.
because more Jews felt that they needed an internationally recognised state to represent them and defend them.
Zionism did not affect the Holocaust. The Nazis were anti-Jewish in a racist sense. They didn't draw any distinction between practising and non-practising Jews, or between Zionists and non-Zionists. On the other hand, it is often said that the Holocaust had the effect of strengthening Zionism.
No. Zionism first developed as a concept in the 1880s, but was first articulared with the book Altneuland in 1902. It was legally recognized as British policy in 1917 and became internationally recognized by the League of Nations in 1922.

It caused an increase in Zionism and a huge increase in emigration to Palestine. The Holocaust was used on the international stage to justify the need for a State where Jews self-govern and that their survival should not be at the whim of governments who may decide to exterminate them or discriminate against them.
That depends on whether it's religious or secular Zionism. Religious Zionism is found in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). Theodor Herzl is considered the father of modern political Zionism.
Zionism originated in Austria with Theodor Herzl.
Theodore Herzl is considered the father of Zionism.
Neither. The Zionist movement was a pro-Jewish movement whereas Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust are anti-Jewish philosophies and events. Being a Zionist only means one thing: Believing that the Jews have a right to an independent State and that this State should be in the Land of Israel. Many people incorrectly believe that Zionism refers to the Anti-Semitic depictions of a worldwide Jewish Cabal or some other conspiracy theory. However, that is not what Zionism is.
Zionism is a movement to protect the Jews. It is also a movement in the country of China.
