Answer 12

1) (B) is right; there was a partition plan that was put into motion shortly after the war.

2) 96mertcank96 is right; (C) is the answer for that one. Civil war broke out almost immediately after the partition plan was approved.

3) (D) is probably the best answer here. The 1948 war didn't triple the size of Israel, but its successful defense had also enabled it to take over most of the land that had been promised to the Palestinians under the UN partition plan. The Sinai didn't fall to the Israelis in that conflict, but it would in the Six Day War in '67.

4) (C) You and 96mertcank96 are right with this one, so double good job.

5) (A) is the right answer here. Nasser wanted to build up a united pan-Arabic union (with him at its head) and had started one with Syria which ended when Syria left it. Other attempts were made, but none were successful.

6) You're correct with (C); both Nasser and the Ba'athists wanted to fulfill a vision of a united Arabic world and shared similar interests.

7) (B) is correct; Arafat essentially became the defining face of the PLO in the decades following the war.

8) (D) is right; the Six Day War was a remarkable success for Israel and resulted in a number of territorial gains.

9) This one is a tough call. (C) sounds right as there's proof that oil revenues aren't distributed equally in a number of those nations -- there's a huge gap between oil rich sheiks and everyone else in the same country, for instance.

10) That's actually Menachem Begin (D) back in those days during the Camp David Accords. Arafat would be a key player later with the Oslo Accords, though, in 1993.
