Arthur James Balfour wrote the letter to Lord Rothschild in 1917 to express the British government's support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. This was part of the Balfour Declaration, which aimed to garner Jewish support during World War I and strengthen British influence in the Middle East. The letter reflected a broader geopolitical strategy and a response to growing nationalist movements, as well as a personal belief in the Zionist cause.
