The term that describes the nationalist movement that sought tocreate a nation-state for the Jewish people is ZIONISM.
The creation of the state of Israel in 1948 as a homeland for Jews the world over was the culmination of decades of effort by the Zionist movement. Modern Zionism originated in Eastern Europe during the late 19th century largely as a result of the persistent and severe persecutions of Jews in Russia and its neighbors to the west.
