The modern movement started in the late 19th century in Europe, as a reaction to increasing antisemitism and to ideas of assimilation.[2] Zionism has had many different varieties that all shared the goal of creating a homeland for the Jewish People. The dominant variety at first was political Zionism, led by Theodor Herzl, but it later lost ground to the socialist Labor Zionism.
In 1948, Zionism resulted in the creation of the State of Israel.
