The biggest influence in the United Nations' recognition of Israel as a nation-state in 1948 was primarily B) the Holocaust. The Holocaust, during World War II, had a profound impact on international sentiment and guilt, leading to increased support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The atrocities of the Holocaust highlighted the need for a secure and recognized state for the Jewish people, contributing significantly to the international support for the creation of Israel. The events of World War II and the Holocaust played a pivotal role in shaping the geopolitical landscape and influencing decisions related to the establishment of Israel.
