The United Nations

After World War I, the League of Nations asked Great Britain to govern Palestine. (This land had been taken away from the Ottoman Empire partly because the Ottomans had been Germany's ally during World War I.) But the British had great difficulty ruling the land because Jews and Arabs in Palestine often quarreled with each other.

After World War II, the quarrels between Palestinian Jews and Arabs became fierce battles. And to make matters worse for the British, Palestinian Jews and Arabs began to attack them as well. By 1947 the British had had enough. They asked the U.N. to take responsibility for Palestine and end the fighting between the Jews and Arabs.

Which country was most responsible for helping israel to become an independant nation?

The Soviet Union was the country most responsible for Israel becoming an independent country in 1948 and 1949. Not only did they give numerous speeches in support of UNGA Resolution 181 (II) and compelling all of the Soviet bloc countries to vote in favor of the resolution, but the Soviet Union provided weapons to Israel via Czechoslovakia to defend itself against the Palestinian guerrillas and Arab invading armies. Conversely, France, the UK, and the USA all imposed a regional arms embargo, which would have spelled an end to Israel.In 1953, the Soviet Union and Israel stopped being allies when it became clear that Israel would have a Pro-Western alignment.
