After World War I, the British were given control of the territory of Palestine, which had previously been part of the Ottoman Empire (which crumbled at the end of the war.) Over the next twenty or so years, things got hotter and hotter in Palestine, as Jewish immigration increased, and Arab groups - to whom the British had promised independence - grew more and more upset.
As conflicts broke out - between Jewish groups and Arab groups, between Jewish groups and the British, and between Arab groups and the British - the Brits decided they didn't want the territory anymore. So, they let the United Nations decide what to do. Prior to the end of World War I, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and everybody else in Palestine had lived together in peace. But with the British in control, that had fallen apart.
So, in 1947, the UN decided to partition the country into two separate states: one as a primarily Jewish state, the other primarily Arab, with Jerusalem as a shared international city. In 1948, to the dismay of the Palestinian people (who didn't agree to the UN deal) Israel declare itself a country, setting off a decades long regional conflict that continues, sadly, to this day.
