Creation of Israel / Nakba (1948) (jan 5, 1948 – dec 29, 1948)

Description:

In 1948, the State of Israel was established amidst the 1948 Palestine War following the end of the British Mandate, an event known as the Nakba to Palestinians, which involved the displacement and dispossession of over 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. This mass exodus was a result of direct expulsions, violence, massacres, and the collapse of Palestinian society, leading to the creation of the Palestinian refugee crisis and a lasting unresolved dispute over their right of return.
