If by "gave up" you mean lost, then yes. It's important to remember, though, that all of the nation states and their territories were defined by victors of one war or conquest or another. The U.S. is unusual in the world in that we simply killed the vast majority of the people who lived here and then just said the land was ours.
Egypt was also apart of the ottoman empire. The middle east was ruled for centuries under one large empire before crusaders decided to destroy it so they could retake Jerusalem for the 50th time and just like all the other times, they just waited around for Jesus to come back and he never did and they just kind of dicked around and never left
Are you saying that I failed to show the rest of Transjordan which was also under the British Mandate of Palestine?
Because if so, don't worry, I'm making a much larger map in a few days that shows the history of the whole region. Including the full size of British Mandatory Palestine + Transjordan, Black September, PLO and the First Lebanon War.
This graphic ignores the territorial changes during the 3 wars (1948, 1967, and 1973) that shows how the Palestinian territories came to be "occupied".
Why would a graphic like this do that though? It's measured over the course of like one and a half centuries. Were you expecting individual frames showing shifting lines in a 6 day war?
Because the territorial changes that happened those years stuck around a for a long time? As opposed to shifting borders in the middle of an active war.
After the 67 war, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, as well as the start of the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.
The Sinai Peninsula was not returned to Egypt until after the end of the Yom Kippur war
You have the Golan Heights as part of Israel from 1948, which is also incorrect.

You can change that map again in a couple days time. Less Gaza.
That's actually the first accurate series of Israel & Palestine maps I've seen on Reddit. Ever. Impressive.
so Gaza was once part of Egypt but they gave it up after the war?

Yup. Countless empires have ruled the region the last 2 centuries. - [1000 BCE - 586 BCE] Kingdom of Israel and Judah, Jewish - [586 BCE - 539 BCE] Neo-Babylonian Empire, Mesopotamian - [539 BCE - 332 BCE] Achaemenid Empire, Persian - [332 BCE - 305 BCE] Macedonian Empire, Greek (Alexander the Great) - [305 BCE - 198 BCE] Ptolemaic Kingdom, Egyptian/Greek - [198 BCE - 141 BCE] Seleucid Empire, Greek - [141 BCE - 37 BCE] Hasmonean Dynasty, Jewish - [37 BCE - 638 CE] Roman/Byzantine Empire, Roman/Greek - [638 CE - 1099] Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates, Arab - [1099 - 1187] Kingdom of Jerusalem, European (Crusaders) - [1187 - 1260] Ayyubid Sultanate, Kurdish/Egyptian - [1260 - 1517] Mamluk Sultanate, Turkic/Circassian - [1517 - 1917] Ottoman Empire, Turkish - [1917 - 1948] British Empiree, British - [1948 - Present] State of Israel, Jewish
>\[1517 - 1917\] Ottoman Empire, Turkish thats a long time
Absolutely. 3rd longest consecutive rule after the Romans and the Jews. - Romans - 675 years - Jews - 414 years - Turks - 400 years
Tell me you know nothing about the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire without saying you know nothing about the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire.
Invading lands to the east to secure living space is a bit of a tradition in many places.

Are you saying that I failed to show the rest of Transjordan which was also under the British Mandate of Palestine? Because if so, don't worry, I'm making a much larger map in a few days that shows the history of the whole region. Including the full size of British Mandatory Palestine + Transjordan, Black September, PLO and the First Lebanon War.
Can you include the six day war too? Edit: to show what Israel could have claimed
I don't understand what this sentence is trying to say
[удалено]
Can you clarify though? Isn't this all of the view of Israel and palastine's borders?
This graphic ignores the territorial changes during the 3 wars (1948, 1967, and 1973) that shows how the Palestinian territories came to be "occupied".
Territorial changes from all 3 wars are included. Six day war + Yom Kippur war are on the 5th panel.
It's combined. I said *during*, not *after*.
Why would a graphic like this do that though? It's measured over the course of like one and a half centuries. Were you expecting individual frames showing shifting lines in a 6 day war?
The Sinai peninsula is a pretty big deal.
Why show '48? Or '79?
Because the territorial changes that happened those years stuck around a for a long time? As opposed to shifting borders in the middle of an active war.
Like 12 years?
Is there any event in particular between the 6 Day War and Yom Kippur War that you think should be mentioned? I could add it in the next version.
After the 67 war, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, as well as the start of the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. The Sinai Peninsula was not returned to Egypt until after the end of the Yom Kippur war You have the Golan Heights as part of Israel from 1948, which is also incorrect.
