Israel is a nation located in the Middle East. It originally started when the Hebrews migrated from Egypt out of slavery. It is the location of Jesus' birth and many other major Biblical events.
Israel was a powerful nation in the Middle East from about 1000 to 900 B.C.
It was conquered by the Romans in 200 B.C. In 1948, it once again became a sovereign nation.
The state of Israel was created in 1948 at 1600 on 14 May 1948 in Tel Aviv as a country for many Jews affected and displaced by the second world war 1. The zionist movement of the 1920's and 30's saw zionists migrate to then British Mandate Palestine from 25000 in 19032 to 11% of Palestines population by 1922 3
and is the location of intense territorial disputes between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs.
