Initially, in the 1948 war for its own independence, Israel secured the territory that the United Nations had proposed as land for a Jewish state.
In the Six Day War of 1967, Israel gained control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula in defeating Egypt. The Sinai eventually was returned to Egypt. Gaza became an occupied territory, with the Israeli military supervising the Palestinian-populated region, until 2005 when Israeli Defense Forces withdrew from Gaza. (Now Israel enforces blockades against the Gaza region.)
Also in the Six Day War, Israel gained control of the West Bank, which continues to have an Israeli presence in it as well as a Palestinian government.
And in the Six Day War, Israel gained control of two-thirds of the Golan Heights region overlooking Lake Tiberias, which Israel continues to occupy, citing security concerns in protecting itself.

Explanation:
The Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay colony hoped to purify the Church of England and then return to Europe with a new and improved religion. These Puritans were more initially successful than other colonies. For example, they brought enough supplies from the outset, they arrived in the springtime instead of the winter, and they had good leadership. The local government and the church were very closely related, and only church members could vote for the General Court even though everyone was required to pay taxes. Old Testament law became the law of the community. Even though they left England to pursue religious freedom, the Massachusetts Bay Puritans were known for their religious intolerance and general suspicion of democracy. They generally felt that the common people were incapable of governing themselves.
