The Maccabean Revolt took place in Judea primarily due to the oppressive policies of the Seleucid Empire, particularly under King Antiochus IV, who imposed Hellenistic culture and religion on the Jewish population. This included the outlawing of Jewish practices and the desecration of the Temple in Jerusalem. In response, a group of Jewish rebels, led by the Maccabee family, rose up to restore their religious freedoms and reclaim their autonomy. The revolt ultimately resulted in the establishment of the Hasmonean dynasty and the rededication of the Temple, commemorated by the festival of Hanukkah.

Hanukkah originated in ancient Judea, specifically in the region that is now part of modern-day Israel. The festival commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem following the Maccabean Revolt against Seleucid rule in the second century BCE. The celebration marks the miracle of the oil, where a small amount of oil lasted eight days in the temple's menorah. Over time, Hanukkah has evolved into a significant cultural and religious celebration for Jewish communities worldwide.
After the Second Jewish Revolt (132-135 CE), also known as the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the Romans decisively crushed the rebellion and implemented severe reprisals against the Jewish population. They expelled many Jews from Judea, renamed the region to Syria Palaestina to erase Jewish identity, and built the city of Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of Jerusalem, prohibiting Jews from entering. The Roman authorities also instituted measures to prevent future revolts, including a ban on Jewish practices and stricter military control in the region. This marked a significant turning point in Jewish history and the Roman approach to governance in Judea.
