Well, if you're only going to count modern states, the only previous one to occupy that area was the Ottoman Empire. After that, there was a British Mandate, but that wasn't a state. Modern states only started after the Treaty of Westphalia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia
- direwolf20 9mo agoDoes the modern Israel state have continuity from the Ottoman empire?
- nickff 9mo agoThat really depends on what you mean by ‘continuity’ and your view of the British Mandate. I could imagine the case being made either way.
- direwolf20 9mo agoI'll give you a hint: the successor to this part of the Ottoman Empire was named Palestine.
