The two decades between 1900 and 1920 propelled Zionism forward. In 1903, a proposal was made to establish a Jewish homeland in Uganda, but this proposal was declined by the Zionist Congress. The Kishnev Pogrom in Russia and other anti-Semitic events confirmed the importance of establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine. In 1917, the Balfour Declaration affirmed the British Empire’s dedication to setting up a Jewish homeland within the borders of the British Mandate. This period saw an increase of attacks by Arabs on Jewish settlers in the Land of Israel.
