The correct answer is A. The main reason that the nation of Israel was created was that the United Nations created a Jewish homeland after the Holocaust.
Explanation:
The history of the modern Israeli state began when Theodor Herzl founded the Zionist movement in the late 19th century. He urged the Jewish nation to return to its historic homeland of the Holy Land. Thousands of Jews emigrated to Palestine, at the time part of the Ottoman Empire. The British government announced its goal of establishing a Jewish state through the Balfour Declaration (1917), and in 1922 the League of Nations gave the United Kingdom a mandate to govern Palestine. After Nazi persecution, which reached its peak in the Holocaust, large numbers of Jews emigrated to Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s, to be under British protection. Tensions between the Jews and native Arabs increased, and after the end of World War II the United Nations supported the formation of the State of Israel, in order to give the Jewish people a home after the horror they suffered during Holocaust. This was rejected by the Arabs, and the state of Israel was formed on 14 May 1948 as the British ceded their territory.
