For most of the Twentieth Century (since 1948), the Jewish areas were called Israel and The Muslim areas were called "the Occupied Territories" or the "Palestinian Territories. The original plan was for the Palestinian territories to be called "Palestine" and be set up as in independent country, but the Palestinians rejected this plan. Prior to 1948, the entire area was called Palestine, though it was never under Palestinian rule. In 1948, the Palestinians almost had the chance for self-determination for the first time ever.
Historically, the region now known as Palestine was part of various empires and territories over time, including parts of Syria under different rulers. The modern concept of separate Palestinian and Syrian territories emerged in the 20th century with the impact of colonialism and nationalism.
Palestine was a multicultural region consisting of the Roman provinces of Galilee, Samaria, Judea and Idumea, and covered approximately the same area as modern Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
