Jews historically were a repressed people that barely had the right to practice their religion without the fear of persecution. It took the Modern Era for Jews to become emancipated and enlightened to the degree where they felt like they had the power to determine their own fate.
The Jews belonged to the various countries of which they were (or are) citizens. Until the foundation of Israel they didn't have a specifically Jewish country.
The kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians in about 720 BC. when it ceased to exist. However, if by "Israel" you mean the territory that composes present day Israel, it was variously named. The southern kingdom of Judah became the Roman territory of Judea which was ruled as a part of the province of Syria. Hadrian renamed the area Palestina Syria. The Ottoman empire ruled after the fall of the Roman empire and the British had a ruling interest in the area up until the establishment of the modern country of Israel.
No. Palestine (What the area was called before Israel declared independence) was under Ottoman (Turkish) rule from 1516 to 1918, at which point the British Empire declared a mandate in Israel, which lasted until Israel declared independence in May 14th, 1948. A Mandate is a declaration of intent, meaning the mandating country will control the zone and support the people who inhabit it until they are ready to declare independence.
There was no Israel until 1948.
From 1517 until 1917, the land that is now Israel was part of the Ottoman Empire. After that, it was part of the Mandate of Palestine, until it was partitioned into Israel in 1948.
Israel did not become a modern-day nation until 29 November 1947 .
The Roman Empire referred to modern-day Israel as Palestine. Modern-day Israel was referred to as Palestine up until 1948. In 1948 the United Nations formed the country of Israel from the Palestine state.
That's a silly concept. Texas hasn't been an independent country since 1845, but Israel didn't become one until 1948. Texas and Israel have never had to worry about exchanging ambassadors.
No, Israel wasn't established as a country until after World War II in 1945, when the United States created and recognized it as a country. Israel was created because the world felt it was necessary after Hitlers rule.
They didn't. In antiquity the land occupied by Jews under Roman rule was named Judaea. After they were pushed out of the territory it was renamed Palestine. It did not become Israel until the founding of the modern nation in the 20th century.
The United States has traditionally backed Israel, but this relationship did not begin until after the Six-Day War.
The Ancient Kingdoms of Israel never abandoned the monarchic model until they were overthrown. The Modern State of Israel was founded as a democracy and never had a king.
It's currently not in a country - it is in the West Bank. Israel controls the land, but Bethlehem is not in Israel. The West Bank is slated for a future Palestinian state, but until that state is a reality, Palestine is not a country
It was found long before 1937, but it was not founded until 1948.
Israel has been around since biblical times, but they didnt become an independent entity until May 14, 1948.

The name "Israel" comes from a name given to the Patriarch Jacob. The kingdom of Israel was formed around 1020 BCE. In about 930 BCE, Israel and Judah split, and Israel existed independently of Judah until around 720 BCE, when it was conquered by Assyria and its members were sent into exile. Since then, the land was called by different names (Judea, Syria Palaestina, Palestine) until 1948, when the modern country of Israel was declared.
