The correct answer is the following: <u>option D. After the British decided to end their mandate in the Palestine region, The United Nations voted to divide Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish.</u> On November 29th of 1947, The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution in which Palestine was called to be divided between Arabs and Jews.
The plan proposed by the UN, partitioned Palestine in 3 Jewish sections, 4 Arab sections and the internationally administered city of Jerusalem. The voting went 33-13 in favor of the partition, having all of the Arab Nations walkout of the voting, as a sign of protest. Six months later, on May 14th, 1948, Jewish leaders formed the State of Israel.
Abraham Lincoln won the presidency in 1860 because the pro slavery vote was split between several candidates. He ran against three others. They were Northern Democrat Stephen Douglas, Southern Democrat John C. Breckenridge and Constitutional Union candidate John Bell. Lincoln was the only Republican and the first to win a presidential election.
