Nationalism did not impact Jews until the end of World War I. Germany was still fiddling with nationalism, and the rise in power of Adolf Hitler did not help. Many German soldiers who fought in World War I believed that Germany did not truly lose the war. In fact, they believed that Germany was sold out to the Allies by the Jewish politicians (known as the Stabbed-in-the-Back Theory). Hitler was one of these soldiers. This flourished anti-semitism in him that he would use in his politics. He praised a new German race, the Aryan Race, in which he exclaimed would be perfect. But Jews were not a part of the Aryan Race, so Hitler decided to get rid of them. His first intention was not to exterminate them, but to force emigrate them. When World War II started, most Jews were in concentration camps, or labor camps. But when WWII was near an end and Hitler was faced with defeat, he took his extreme step to rid Europe of Jews. He started mass exterminating Jews and turning the concentration camps into death camps. When the war was over, Hitler had massacred 6,000,000 Jews, obliterating the Jewish population in Europe. Those who remained started migrating out of Europe because they wanted to leave Europe, they felt betrayed, etc. To compensate the Jews, the United Kingdom transformed their mandate of Palestine into a Jewish state: Israel. Most of the Jews who remained in Europe and did not already migrate other places, such as the US, immigrated to Israel. Europe was then basically cleared of all Jews, and today, only about 2,000,000 Jews live in Europe.
