The events of the Holocaust led to the establishment of the State of Israel in the years following World War II. The Holocaust, during which millions of Jews were systematically persecuted and killed by the Nazis, had a profound impact on the international community and spurred efforts to provide a safe haven for Jewish survivors. In 1947, the United Nations approved a plan to partition Palestine, leading to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 as a homeland for the Jewish people. This event represented a significant response to the horrors of the Holocaust and the desire to ensure the security and well-being of Jewish individuals and communities.
