History

Phoenix [80]3 years ago
4 0
Basic answer: Over expansion

Germany had been deprived of its colonies at the end of WW1 and the vast number of islands the Japanese had captured had been liberated by the US. This led to these places gaining their independence. The main reason though was the British Empire which in a way dissolved. No longer did the sun never set on the British Empire. Basically with the prime example being India The British realized that in a modern world there were other world powers and they had too much land to protect. They had troops in every colony from Atlantic to Pacific and simply couldn’t defend their whole country. This whole idea was brought out by the Second World War and thus after the war many countries gained their independence.

STatiana [176]

1-How did WWII impact the conflict over Palestine?
vivado [14]

Answer:

After the end of World War Two, the Jewish Holocaust and other Nazi atrocities imposed on the victorious allies a pressing moral issue: What to do with the Jews? The Jewish people needed to be given a country, a land of their own.

Jewish migration to Palestine, a British mandate that existed after WWI and until 1948, significantly increased after the war. Jews bought land from the Arabs, created kibbutzim and purchased property.

In 1947, the United Nations voted a resolution to provide a two-state solution once the British Mandate in Palestine had expired: one state for the Arabs and one state for the Jews. In May 1948, Israel is proclaimed. The Arab people did not acept the UN resolution and rejected it. War erupted, several neighboring nations and Arab Palestinian units attack Israel but suffered a sound defeat. This was the First Arab-Israeli War.
