What were Allies doing?

- many people ran to Palestine and eventually made Israel (Est. in 1948, beginning of Israeli-Palestinian conflict)

Potsdam Conference

- Churchill is voted out in the middle of it, Britain decides to nationalize health care and other welfare things

- Most western governments increase their welfare state (believe that economic problems allowed Hitler to gain power)
