Why was the state of Israel created?
What were the reasons behind the creation of the state of Israel? It seems peculiar that a decision was made to partition a territory and designate it as the homeland for the Jewish people. I might be overlooking some key aspects, but there appears to be limited information available regarding the historical context and motivations that led to the establishment of Israel.

A couple of reasons. As 1947 the year of Israel’s creation, there was still a huge amount of world guilt as to the holocaust. So there was a huge united nations lobby for the creation of a Jewish homeland.
The area had a significant Jewish population. The Jewish population protested, and rebelled against the British Palestinian police force. It seemed to be the easiest solution to the problem setting up a separate Jewish, and Palestinian state.
Unfortunately the hope that they could co-exist peacefully was shattered right away with the first Arab-Israeli war. Since then pretty much any hope of two nations living side by side ended.

It’s been worked on since the turn of the century. They didn’t just decide anything. England worked very hard for the creation of the nation on Israel.
To create a safe homeland for the Jews. Jewish people began to settle in Israel in substantial numbers from the late 19th century
