We can define the reasons that why United states have a bicameral congress in historical, practical and theoretical way. If we look at the historical reason we see that the British Parliament had consisted of two houses since the 1300s, and if we see practically, the Framers had to make a two-chambered body to settle down the conflict that is between the Virginia Plan ( in this plan, there are two houses of congress and the population will determine the representation in each house) and the New Jersey Plan (in this plan there is a single house of Congress and each state would have an equal vote) <span>at Philadelphia in 1787 and theoretically the farmers preferred a bicameral congress in a way that one house of congress would have check on the other house.</span>

1947-1949: Israeli War of Independence. When Israel proclaimed itself as an independent state, surrounding Arab nations attacked to try to prevent Israel from establishing itself. The Israelis won and maintained their state and territory.

1956: Suez Crisis. When President Nasser of Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, Israel along with Britain and France sent troops against Egypt. Faced with international pressure, the British and French withdrew and Israel also eventually backed down.

1967: Six Day War. Fought primarily between Israel against Egypt, Syria and Jordan, with other Arab nations also sending troops. Israel won quickly and convincingly and gained control of much territory.

1973: October War. Also known as Yom Kippur War from the Israeli side, or Ramadan War from the Arab side. Arab nations fought to regain control of at least part of territories lost during 1967 war. Israel won once again and no major territorial changes occurred.

1982: Lebanon War. Israeli Defense Force invaded southern Lebanon, seeking to oust the Palestine Liberation Organization from the region. They did so and established an Israeli security zone in that region.

You could count the First Intifada (uprising) and Second Intifada of Palestinians against Israeli occupation also, depending on how you're defining a "war."
