Israel Develops
Israel was established as a state and as the new home of the Jews on May 14, 1948. After the atrocities committed against them in World War 2, the Jews needed a place to rebuild their lives, and to start over. The state of Palestine seemed like a perfect place for the Jewish to settle down. But the situation wasn't ideal for everyone. The one particular party that was upset by this change was the Arabs. They refused to accept the terms in the Balfour declaration and declared war on the new state of Israel. They invaded immediately.
