The main issue is <u>land</u> and who is in control of it. The conflict between Israel and Palestine began in regard to the creation of the State of Israel. Palestinians and Arab nations in the region did not welcome the establishment of a Jewish state on what had for centuries been Arab territory.
Details/context:
There had been Jewish immigration into the Palestine region since the end of the 19th century. The movement of Jews back to what they saw as their ancestral territory escalated with the Zionist movement in the early 20th century. Persecution against Jews in Europe (notably, pogroms in Russia in the 19th century and the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany in the 20th century) increased pressure for Jews to leave European countries.
The Palestine region had been part of the Ottoman Empire up until the end of World War I. A mandate system authorized a member nation of the League of Nations to govern a former German or Ottoman colonial area after the conclusion of World War I. The former Ottoman provinces of Syria, Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were divided into a French mandate territory and British mandate territory. The British exercised mandate rule over Palestine.
After the Second World War II ended in 1945, the United Nations (UN) adopted a plan for the partition of Palestine that would create a portion of that territory as the state of Israel, with the other part as an independent state for Palestinian Arabs. The Arabs in the region and surrounding Arab nations were not in favor of this, because they opposed the creation of a Jewish state in their region.
As the British were ending their mandate governance of the region in May, 1948, the Jewish leaders in the land proclaimed their independence as a nation. A war with Arab peoples and nations in the region followed. Israel won that war and established itself as a nation. Over 700,000 Palestinians fled their homes and land and have not been able to regain independent rights to their territory.
The new state of Israel was granted membership in the UN in 1949. Israel won a series of wars (in 1967, 1973 and beyond) over against Arab states in the region. Palestinians have made efforts against Israeli control, notably with movements called "Intifadas," in 1987 and 2000. They have not been able to achieve nationhood status, however.
Allies opened a second front in Europe, but it was a long process that took years. Taking years to plan and come up with ideas on how they would do this, this got a code name called Operation Overload. By June 1944, almost 3 million troops were ready for the invasion. On June 6, 1944 the day know as D-Day had started. 4,000 ships filled with Allies invaded France. Although going under heavy gun fire, the Allies pushed on. They would not retreat. More and more Allies continued coming onto France, eventually reaching Paris. After four years of being ruled by the Nazis, France was finally free.
Answer:
He developed the theory of evolution.
Explanation:
While Darwin was on the island, he saw how there was a variety finches varying from each island to the next. He determined that each species of finches had gone through natural selection to best adapt to their surroundings. Their beaks and behaviors changed depedning on what island they inhabited. Therefore, he determined that they had adapted to the opportunities presented to them on their respective islands. During his time there, he took numerous notes and created various drawings. They, in turn, helped prove how the creation of species occured through a long process of chang, as they developed into more evolved versions that could better adapt to their surroundings.
