| - | A '''homeland for the Jewish people''' is an idea rooted in Jewish culture and religion. In the early 19th century, the [[Napoleonic Wars]] led to the idea of Jewish Emancipation. This unleashed a number of religious and secular cultural streams and political philosophies among the Jews in Europe, covering everything from Marxism to Chassidism. Among these movements was [[Zionism]] as promoted by [[Theodore Herzl]]. In the late 19th century, Herzl set out his vision of a [[Jewish state]] and homeland for the Jewish people in his book ''[[Der Judenstaat]]''. Herzl was later hailed by the Zionist political parties as the founding father of the [[State of Israel]]. In the [[Balfour Declaration of 1917]], the United Kingdom became the first world power to endorse the establishment in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] of a "national home for the Jewish people." The British government confirmed this commitment by accepting the [[British Mandate for Palestine]] in 1922 (along with their colonial control of the [[Trucial States|Pirate Coast]], [[Persian Gulf Residency|Southern Coast of Persia]], [[Mandatory Iraq|Iraq]] and from 1922 a separate area called [[Transjordan memorandum|Transjordan]], all of the Middle-Eastern territory except the [[French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon|French territory]]).
