The result of the emergence of new nations was not only self-determination for deserving natives, but it was also a time of creating 'others' while defining these new sovereignties. But with the good and the bad, these new nations were ready to stand on their own. First up, is Israel. After the horrors of Nazi Germany, Jews began to demand that they get their own nation. This idea of a Jewish state is called Zionism, and for the most part, Europeans supported the idea, as seen with the British Balfour Declaration. But it was the United Nations that legally created Israel in 1948 by carving it out of a piece of Palestine for the Jews, called Israel. As you can imagine, Palestinians (and other Arab countries) weren’t happy at all about this. Essentially, ever since Israel was created, Israel and Arabs (specifically Palestine) have been at war. Next, Vietnam was a part of at the time (French Indochina) also included what we now know as Cambodia. Similar to Vietnam, once the war was over, France tried to retake it, and Cambodia refused and as a result an authoritarian leader emerged as the communists gained power, leading to the Khmer Rouge, a notoriously violent group. During the time the Khmer Rouge was in power, they aggressively attempted to make the country agricultural again by forcefully collectivizing farms. This led to about 1.5 million people killed in a genocide. Finally, the partition of India and Pakistan. Many Muslims in India felt that the Hindu government would never fully embrace them so they demanded their own nation, Pakistan. This leads to the mass migration of Muslims to Pakistan grew from started very messy and ended downright bloody.
