Question

Which nation did President Truman help to create? A. pakistan B. israel C. jordan D. bangladesh

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. President Truman helped to create Israel.

Truman made the decision to recognize the creation of the State of Israel ignoring the statements of Secretary of State George Marshall, who feared that this could damage relations with Arab states. Ignoring the warnings of Arabs, British, and the Department of State that feared Jewish immigration to Palestine and that a Jewish state could destabilize the Middle East, Truman and Congress continued to support the creation of a home for the Jewish people.

Truman recognized the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, eleven minutes after it became independent as a nation.

Answer 2

Israel
He recognized Israel as a nation on May 14, 1948, noting that Jews needed a place to call home after being 'murdered by Hitler right and left.'
