many nations with internal conflict that has been a victim of the recipe of quarrels time and time again. In my paper I will focus on two different conflicts, one in which who has been able to create a recipe for successful peace in the land, and another in which is still a victim of the recipe that leads to everlasting fights. The conflict I am focusing on that has been able to successfully bring its disagreements into a compromise is the Protestant and Catholic conflict in Northern Ireland during
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been in existence since the end of 19th century. The conflict became an international concern when Israel got its independence in 1948. This conflict has resulted in a lot of minor conflicts and 5major wars. Tensions between the Arabs and Zionists started after the 1800’s when the immigration of the European Jews to Palestine was on the increase. The population of Palestine from 1882-1883 was 468,000 and the population consisted of 408 Muslims, 44,000 Christians
For thousands of years, Israel and Palestine have fought over the land. Many wars have taken place and several peace treaties have failed.
