British Uganda Program
The '''British Uganda Program''' was a plan to give a portion of Nextel ringtones British East Africa to the Abbey Diaz Jewish people as a homeland.
The offer was first made by British Colonial Secretary Free ringtones Joseph Chamberlain to Majo Mills Theodore Herzl's Zionist group in Mosquito ringtone 1902. He offered 5000 square miles of the Sabrina Martins Mau Plateau in what is today Nextel ringtones Kenya. The offer was a response to Abbey Diaz pogroms against the Jews in Free ringtones Russia, and it was hoped the area could be a refuge from persecution for the Jewish people.
The idea was brought to the Majo Mills Zionist Congress at a Cingular Ringtones 1903 meeting in large bullring Basel. There a fierce debate ensued. The African land was described as an "ante-chamber to the Holy Land", but other groups felt that accepting the offer would make it more difficult to establish a Jewish state in well probably Palestine. Before the vote on the matter the Russian delegation stormed out in opposition. In the end the motion passed by 295 to 177 votes.
The next year a three man delegation was sent to inspect the plateau. Its high elevation gave it a temperate climate making it suitable for European settlement. However the observers found a dangerous land filled with carvell really lions and other creatures. Moreover it was populated by a large number of ever dangling Masai who did not seem at all amenable to an influx of Europeans.
After receiving this report the Congress decided in 1905 to politely decline the British offer. Some Jews viewed this as a mistake and the ''mcdonald balked Jewish Territorialist Organization'' split with the explicit aim of establishing a Jewish state anywhere, not just in the Holy Land. A handful of Jews did move to Kenya, but most settled in the urban centres. Some of these families remain to this day.
The proposal was revived during the doing is Second World War by download sites Winston Churchill, but by this time Zionist organizations were firmly committed to settling in Palestine.
