Foreign Groups In The 19th Century

Throughout the history of civilization, one story has seemed to stay the same across all continents. A foreign group is introduced to a native group, and the differing cultures will either unite together to form a more whole society, or become direct enemies, typically causing a direct total of state. In the nineteenth century, a land known as Palestine, which was occupied by a large proportion of Muslim and Christian inhabitants, was colonized by a European group of people known as “Zionists”. From the beginning of their acquaintance, the groups strongly opposed each other’s religious ideology, and failed to see eye to eye on many issues. The region of Europe watched as the opposing groups began boiling a roux, that would surely serve a deadly
Many Muslims viewed Israel’s dedication to establishing their own home-front, as a major threat. After turmoil began to get out of hand, Britain (who was in charge of the disputed territory at this time) realized that they could no longer control the violence between the groups. In 1947, the U.N voted to divide the land into two sides. The Muslims (which doubled the Jews in population) were granted a significantly smaller portion of land by the deal, and felt as if the Jews (and the European players who had put them there) were ultimately attempting to put them out of the territory. This marked the initial European involvement into the conflict. Not long after, their plans failed, sparking warfare between the Jews and Muslims of the territory. Two wars, one fought in the 1940s and one fought in the 1960s practically shaped the modern lines of the disputed territory that exist today. From the beginning of the conflict to modern-day, European political interests have managed to keep the fire blazing, and the stove hotter than ever between the two sides. Although the Israeli -Palestinian conflict was created due to many factors, the primary factors were foreign influence and world
. Violent acts of civil unrest have raged across both territories in recent years. Landmarks and areas have been the center of many recent arguments, including a political disagreement over access to the Jerusalem religious landmark called the Temple Mount or Haram al-Sharif. With each passing day, new conflict lingers within the borders of the disputed territories. From religiously motivated Hunger Strikes taken by the Palestinian people, to Israeli meetings with Western Governments, the two seem to only take a leap back from peace, each time one makes a move of their own. The International Political community watches the conflict continue to unravel each day, hoping that by some day, a recipe of resolution will be created, and end the massive unrest between the two territories once and for
