Question

The Balfour Declaration of 1917 stated that which of the following groups of people supported the construction of a Jewish homeland in Palestine? - American citizens - British citizens and soldiers - Middle Eastern Arabs - Middle Eastern Jews

Answer 1

The Balfour Declaration was led with the support of The British Citizens and soldiers.

Answer 2

The correct answer is British citizens and soldiers.

The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 during World War I.

The Declaration announced the support for the establishment of a 'national home for Jewish people' in Palestine.

It was the first political recognition of Zionists aims by a Great Power.

The Declaration was written as a letter from the United Kingdom's foreign secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish Community.

It was not clear what'in Palestine' really meant, as the intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified.

The Declaration greatly increased popular support for Zionism worldwide.
