Jewish history relating to the foundation of Israel
truly begins with the Jewish exodus from Egypt in
approximately 1500 BCE
Following this exodus, the Jewish people first moved
to Israel and established a monarchy under King
David and his descendants. After being forced out of
their home by the Assyrians and then the Christian
majority, the Jewish cultural center became Babylon
toward the beginning of the Common Era.
This expulsion from their homeland was only the
beginning of the recorded history of Jewish
oppression. Between 1050 and 1492, the Jewish
people were displaced in both the Middle East and
Western Europe as the Christian Crusaders made it
their mission to reclaim the Holy Land.
The Crusades and the expansion of Christianity in
Western Europe ultimately led to the mass migration
of Jewish people into Eastern Europe, where they
largely stayed for several hundred years.
While the Jewish people were settled in Babylon and
surrounding areas, the Muslim faith was beginning
and spreading rapidly beginning with the Prophet
Muhammed in 622.
By 640, Muslim conquerors had taken over Israel and
had begun the process of Islamization and
Arabization that would continue well into the 19th
century
(discussion of the assassination of Tsar Alexander II
and the subsequent persecution of expulsion of Jews
from Russia in 1881 talk about the initially small
migration of Jewish people from Russia to the more
urban areas of Ottoman-ruled Palestine) After the
migration of Jewish people began, the Arab
population in Palestine called for a limit on Jewish
immigration from the Ottoman government in 1891
