Abstract

Zionism could not find political support in the international arena until the First World War. All the negotiations that Theodor Herzl and his predecessors had with Germany, Britain and Ottoman Empire at this point were in vain. In this context the aim of this study is to answer the question of why Zionism did not find official political support until World War. Its trying to answer this question through the systemic and domestic factors. The main argument of the study is that the great power policies and the international structure in the context of the Eastern Question were influential on Zionism. In this respect, the most effective reason delaying Zionism’s getting support from a great power until 1917 was that the international balance of power based on the Eastern Question.
