Actually, there has always been a Jewish presence in the region of the world currently known as Israel, Jordon, Syria, Lebanon, etc. For example, the communities of Hebron and Tsfat have had sizable Jewish populations for over 2000 years.
In the waning years of the Ottoman Empire, during the late 1800's (not the early 1900's), the strip of land currently known as Israel was largely uninhabited. Those who did live there did not actually own the property they lived on, for the most part, as it belonged to the Empire itself. And the Empire was running out of money.....so it invited European Jews to come settle, to make improvements, and (most crucially) to make money in the region.
So in the 1880, European Jews began agricultural development of the area. And, according to census documents, this was followed by an influx of Arab immigrants from Iraq, Egypt, and other outlying areas.
Firstly, Zionism only came around in the late 1800s, so it is not like Zionism received a sudden spike in popularity after bandying about for centuries. It was popular soon after its release.
The reason why Zionism was so immediately popular is that it responded to Europe's major Anti-Semitic criticism: Jews were physically and culturally different than other Europeans and could not be integrated. Zionism asserted that there was no need to argue with this implacable position, but for Jews to make a country on their own terms.
In the late 1800s, the predominant wave of Jewish Immigration was from Europe to the United States, constituting 2.5-4 million persons. Additionally, smaller waves of Jews began to migrate to Israel.

Italian was the leading style of opera in Europe until the mid 1800s.
In the mid 1800s, many immigrants were Irish and German. While many of them were looking for new job opportunities, many were also trying to escape persecution.

After World War 1, Great Britain controlled Palestine, an Arab region that was also the land the Jews had lived in 2,000 years earlier. Starting in the late 1800s, Jews fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe had begun migrating there again. After World War 2 and the Holocaust, many Jews were left homeless and the number who wanted to migrate to Palestine increased.The United Nations approved a Partition Plan in 1947 to create separate Jewish and Arab States.
by the 1800s, Europe had conquered most of the Americas and Australia by 1800.
