After the war many European Jews had no place to go and it was decided that part of Palestine would become a Jewish state.

The founding of the nation of Israel after w.w.2 originates in a letter sent by British Foreign Secretary Arthur J. Balfour to Lord Rothschild, (the banker) and leader of the British Jewish community Nov.2nd 1917,which stated that at an Oct. 31 1917 meeting of the British Cabinet, the U.K. supported plans by the Zionist Federation for a Jewish national home in Palestine, though nothing should be done to prejudice the civil or religious rights of existing communities there. The Zionst Fed. had previosuly approached the Ottoman Empirand the Kaiser on this but were rebuffed. Although the Balfour Declaration promised nothing, it was interpreted with some differently. After W.W.2 the Jewish influx into Palestine was so great that the U.K. tried to restrict the numbers but ended up caught in the middle of the Jews and Arabs Conflict,being attacked by both sides, and by 1948 was forced to leave the two sides to their fate,which can be seen today, with a sympathetic view from whatever side you look at it. There was even a possbility at one time of a homeland in Uganda and Argentina.
