The document provides a timeline of the Israel-Palestine conflict from the late 1800s to present day. It summarizes that Zionism emerged in response to violence against Jews, the British took control of Palestine after WWI and the Balfour Declaration supported a Jewish homeland, and the Holocaust led many Jews to move to Palestine, intensifying tensions with Arabs. It then outlines the major wars, peace agreements, uprisings, and ongoing violence between Israel and its neighbors over control of the land.
