The Dawes Act of 1887 was passed by the government of the United States to make native Indians more included in the government and also to possibly open their lands for more white settlers. This law requires the Indian lands to be individualized and distributed among the owners.
What this law led to was that the Indians refused to give up their lands. Moreover, to be included in the citizenship of the nation, they had to 'offer' their lands. This means that only those who accepted the individual plots were granted citizenship, thereby excluding the majority of the American Indians. This resulted in the loss of half of the lands that they had held in 1881.
D. The creation of Israel led to several series of conflicts between the Palestinians (the original inhabitants of the land) and the Jews (the newcomers). These conflicts have continued to the present day
