When Jews were looking for a homeland what were some of the other locations?

For the most part, Jewish Zionists were hoping for decades, that their ancestral homeland their old Israel kingdom could be restored to them. Many may have been tempted by the British offer of having their colony in Uganda be that new Jewish homeland but that idea was dismissed by most Zionists Some Jews believed they could have their own homeland communities in the USA. Thousand of Jews immigrated to the US, however, the dream of a restored Jewish homeland in the area they lived in in the past was the best choice. Also, Jews, a small part of their population had already been living in "Palestine" for hundreds of years.
