Great Britain in 1945-1949 and Its Impact on the Creation of the State of Israel
Bartošová, Barbora ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis is focused on British foreign policy from 1945-1949 towards the Palestinian mandate. In the thesis I analyzed the factors related to the Declaration of the State of Israel. The relationship between these states was very close at that time, because in 1920 Palestine had became a British Mandate. After the Second World War, the situation in Palestine escalated and the development of the relationship culminated in May 1948 when the State of Israel was officially declared. The State of Israel was officialy recognized by Great Britain in 1949. In the thesis attention is paid to the internal situation in Great Britain (the first postwar elections) and to external influences affecting British foreign policy at that time. The first postwar elections were won by the Labour Party, and the key figures who set the direction of international relations were Prime Minister Clement Attlee, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ernest Bevin and the Secretary of State for Colonies George Hall
