Answer:
B) the Holocaust
Explanation:
The United Nations recognized Israel as a nation state in 1948. The primary driving factors behind this recognition was the Holocaust carried out by Nazi Germany during World War 2 as part of racial supremacy theories. Millions of lives were lost and the Jewish population was subjected to unprecedented torture in concentration camps. The magnitude of the atrocities played a key role in persuading the world community to recognize the state of Israel as a Jewish homeland.
