Which event increased world support for the establishment of a jewish state in palestine in the 1940's?
A. completion of the Suez Canal
B. shock of the holocaust
C. end of the Yom Kippur War
D. rise of the Tailban

Answer 1

Zionism originated in Eastern and Central Europe in the second half of the 19th century, but it is rooted in the commitment of the Jews and the Jewish religion to the geographical region of Palestine. In the Palestine there is an ancient hill near Jerusalem, which is the origin of the Jewish religion - Zion.

Since its inception, the Zionist movement has advocated the return of Jews to Palestine, after almost 2,000 exiles. There were many obstacles in history. Britain allegedly supported the return, but there was always a problem in all the discussions on the subject. In May 1939, Britain issued a restrictive document, "white paper" limiting the return of Jews to Palestine. Yet after the Second World War and the Holocaust, on November 29, 1947, the UN adopted resolution 181, which recommended the deployment of Palestine between Jews and the Arabs. This allowed the State of Israel to formally form on May 14, 1948.

The right answer is B. shock of the holocaust

Answer 2

The event that mainly increased the world support for the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine in the 1940's was the shock of the holocaust. It was because during the WWII many Jewish people were harassed by the nazis and then cruelly murdered during the holocausts. After that, in the post-war era Jewish continued being harassed in Europe by governments like the Sovietic. So that, and taking as an example the migration of Jewish communities out of Europe, a large number of Nations supported the creation of a Jewish State (Israel) in Palestina, this in 1947.
