Explain the historical and religious claim that the Jewish people have to the land that is modern day Israel. Explain the histor
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The history of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel is about the history and religion of the Jewish people who originated in the Land of Israel, and have maintained physical, cultural, and religious ties to it ever since. First emerging in the later part of the 2nd millennium BCE as an outgrowth of southern Canaanites,[1][2][3][4] the Hebrew Bible claims that a United Israelite monarchy existed starting in the 10th century BCE. The first appearance of the name "Israel" in the non-Biblical historic record is the Egyptian Merneptah Stele, circa 1200 BCE. During the biblical period, two kingdoms occupied the highland zone, the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) in the north, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE), and the Kingdom of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire (586 BCE). Initially exiled to Babylon, upon the defeat of the Neo-Babylonian Empire by the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great (538 BCE), many of the Jewish elite returned to Jerusalem, building the Second Temple.

In 332 BCE the Macedonian Greeks under Alexander the Great conquered the Achaemenid Empire, which included Yehud (Judea), starting a long religious struggle that split the Jewish population into traditional and Hellenized components.

In 165 BCE, after the religion-driven Maccabean Revolt, the independent Hasmonean Kingdom was established. In 64 BCE the Romans conquered Judea, turning it into a Roman province. Although coming under the sway of various empires and home to a variety of ethnicities, the area of ancient Israel was predominantly Jewish until the Jewish–Roman wars of 66–136 CE, during which the Romans expelled most of the Jews from the area and replaced it with the Roman province of Syria Palaestina, beginning the Jewish diaspora. After this time, Jews became a minority in most regions, except Galilee, and the area became increasingly Christian after the 3rd century, although the percentages of Christians and Jews are unknown, the former perhaps coming to predominate in urban areas, the latter remaining in rural areas.[5] Jewish settlements declined from over 160 to 50 by the time of the Muslim conquest. Michael Avi-Yonah says that Jews constituted 10–15% of Palestine's population by the time of the Sasanian conquest of Jerusalem in 614,[6] while Moshe Gil says that Jews constituted the majority of the population until the 7th century Muslim conquest (638 CE).[7]

In 1099 the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem and nearby coastal areas, losing and recapturing it for almost 200 years until their final ouster from Acre in 1291. In 1517 the Ottoman Empire conquered it, ruling it until the British conquered it in 1917, and ruled it under the British Mandate for Palestine until 1948, when the Jewish State of Israel was proclaimed in part of the ancient land of Israel, which was made possible by the Zionist movement and its promotion of mass Jewish immigration.

Monica [59]

Answer:

the causes of the French Revolution were several among which the following stand out

An inflexible monarchical regime against the context of a changing world, and that, after several attempts to adopt measures aimed at tackling the political and economic crisis

The nobility and the high clergy clinging to their feudal privileges, which blocked all structural reforms that were attempted from the Court

The development of a bourgeois class born centuries ago, which had achieved great power in the economic field and now began to advocate the politician. Her wealth and culture had raised her to the top spot in society, a position that was in contradiction with the existence of privileged estates, nobility and clergy.

The urban and peasantry popular classes, impoverished by rising prices - particularly cereals and bread, the continuous increase of stately and royal taxes and rights.

the expansion of new illustrated ideas;

The financial bankruptcy caused by the vices of the tax system, the misperception and inequality of taxes, the expenses of the Court, the costs of wars, and the serious financial problems caused by military support for the War of Independence of the United States. This military intervention would become a double-edged sword, because, despite France winning the war against Great Britain and thus recovering from the previous defeat in the Seven Years' War, the estate went bankrupt and with a significant foreign debt. The fiscal problems of the monarchy, together with the example of democracy of the new emancipated State precipitated the events.
