What describes the nationalist movement that sought to create a nation-state for the Jewish people?

The nationalist movement aimed at creating a nation-state for the Jewish people is known as Zionism. Emerging in the late 19th century, it sought to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, driven by the desire for self-determination and a response to widespread anti-Semitism in Europe. Key figures, like Theodor Herzl, advocated for Jewish Immigration to Palestine and the establishment of a sovereign state, culminating in the founding of Israel in 1948. Zionism remains a significant and sometimes controversial aspect of Jewish identity and politics today.
