    This document discusses the history of Zionism and the creation of Israel. It describes how after the destruction of the ancient kingdoms of Israel, most Jews became diaspora peoples scattered throughout Europe and persecuted. The Zionist movement was founded in the late 19th century by Theodore Herzl to address the persecution of Jews and establish a Jewish state. With the support of British and Jewish elites, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 supported establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine. After World War 2 and the Holocaust, the British withdrew from Palestine and the UN proposed partitioning it between Arabs and Jews. Israel declared statehood in 1948 and was quickly recognized, establishing itself as a nation.
