Nov 2, 1917:
Britain supports creation of Jewish homeland
British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour submits a
declaration of intent to establish a Jewish homeland in
Palestine. The British government hoped that the formal
declaration would help garner Jewish support for the Allied
effort in World War I. The Balfour Declaration was included in
the British mandate over Palestine, which was approved by the
League of Nations in 1922. Arabs opposed the Balfour Declaration,
fearing that the creation of a Jewish homeland would mean the
subjugation of Arab Palestinians.
After World War I, the Jewish population in Palestine increased
dramatically, as did Jewish-Arab violence. Arab resistance and
failures to reach a compromise led Britain to delay deciding on
the future of Palestine. In the aftermath of World War II and the
Holocaust, much of the international community took up the
Zionist cause, and in 1948 the State of Israel was declared.
