This makes it possible for the general public to comprehend that a community that seems to be strong can easily be divided by people's personal beliefs and by their backgrounds. It is very likely for individuals to express interest in detaching themselves from a group that they are associated with as a consequence of feeling that they do not actually belong to the respective community (Verdery, 232).
Jewish groups in Palestine considered that they were exposed to a series of threats as a result of the fact that they lived in mixed neighborhoods. They believe that they would be stronger if they had the opportunity to unite in a community that would no longer accept to be persecuted. Even with this, many Jews were hesitant about getting involved in a group that would act against Ottoman principles and feared that they would suffer if they adopted a nationalist attitude. The fact that the Ottoman Empire was weakened at the time of the First World War influenced groups within its borders to express less support regarding the Empire. While Sephardi Jews in Palestine focused on avoiding any form of conflict with other groups in the Empire up until that moment, it was very difficult and even impossible for them to keep their policies in a context that no longer provided them with a series of advantages.
It was no longer possible for Jews to live alongside of Arabs in Palestine and each group needed to devise strategies that would reinforce their position and put across their position with the purpose of having others acknowledge that they needed restructure their plans. In spite of the fact that they had the thinking necessary for them to develop a cultural identity, Jewish people in Palestine received little to no support and realized that it would be long before they would actually be able to build a nation-state where they could live peacefully. While it did not assist them in gaining territories that they need in...
Their nationalist feelings assisted them in staying together and in developing thinking that made it possible for the Jewish community to be what it is today. Arab nationalism was much stronger as Arabs appeared to employ violence in imposing their position and as Jews lost their influence in Palestine as a consequence of the fact that they were unsuccessful in using nationalism with the purpose of persuading their own in contributing to building a community that would provide them with protection from being persecuted (Zionism and Arab Nationalism: Background Information).
Discrimination was one of the most important tools that people used as a result of starting to express nationalist thinking. However, Sephardi Jews in Palestine were solely interested in getting together in order to escape persecution, as they had no intentions of persecuting other groups once they would build a new community.

Ottoman Empire In 1683, when the Ottoman forces were besieging Vienna, the empire reached its high-water mark and then began its slow, steady decline after suffering a major defeat in this battle. Only very gradually did Europeans come to perceive it as the Sick Man of Europe, however, since it was still formidable enough to play an important role in the defeat of Russia in the Crimean War of 1854-56. This
Ottoman Empire was a sick old man that just collapsed The Ottoman Empire was perhaps amongst the short-lived glories that history has seen yet. Many scholars believed that the power of the Caliphate ruling over the Empire had started declining from early 1680s; yet, there are also many others who feel that the historical accounts of the Empire show that it was a dynamic and ever-advancing Empire that had an intricate
Ottoman Empire is among the most fascinating periods in the history of civilization, and it remains the subject of scholarly study because of the impact it had on the world, and continues to have today. The empire began around as a medieval state in the late 13th Century around what is now known as Turkey; the region had largely been unaffected, either socially, militarily or economically by the social progress
Sharif Hussein Ibn Saud and the Fall of the Ottoman Empire Introduction The Ottoman Empire was served by a strong military and centralized political structure, but with territory that stretched into both the East and the West, the Ottoman Empire was also greatly served by its geography and the diversity of this realm. At the heart of its rule was the power of Mecca and the religious significance Mecca held for the
WWI: The Forces of Nationalism, Imperialism and Militarism The forces of nationalism, imperialism and militarism irrevocably led to World War I in several ways. Germany had become an industrialized nation, vying for economic power and rivaling the power of Britain (Gilbert, 1994). Germany had also defeated France in the prior century in the Franco-Prussian War and taken the territories of Alsace and Lorraine. France wanted them back (Bradberry, 2012). Russia also
Ottoman As Emrah Safa Gurkan points out in "The Centre and the Frontier," the Ottoman Empire made strategic political decisions in part due to a shifting balance of power in Europe. Head to head with the Habsburg Empire, the Ottomans saw great opportunity and power in the incorporation of the North African corsairs for geographic, geopolitical, economic, and social reasons. Although European exploits abroad were far more ambitious and large scale, the
