From 638 until 1920 Palestine was under the rule of Muslims, except for 99 years from 1099 - 1198 during The Crusades. For more than 1100 years it had been under Muslim Rule.
From 1920 until 1947, it was under British Rule, and it was during this period that the majority of jewish people migrated to the area to escape persecution in Europe.[/color:a1c54c9b1e]
