  • Analyze agreements and proposals that are concerned with how the geographical region of Palestine should be divided after World War I.
  • Examine a range of different types of documents central to the formation of the State of Israel, the Wars of 1948 and 1967, and the Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt.
