The event that directly led to the first armed conflict between Arabs and Israelis was the declaration of statehood by Israel in 1948.

The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 was the first of a series of armed conflicts that pitted the State of Israel and its Arab neighbors in what is globally known as the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The United Nations agreed to partition the British Mandate of Palestine into two states: one Jewish, with 55% of the territory, and another Arab, with the remainder except Jerusalem, which would be considered an internationalized zone. This resolution was accepted by the Jewish leaders, but rejected by the Zionist paramilitary organizations and by the Arabs as a whole.

This mandate expired on May 15, 1948. Six hours earlier, on the afternoon of May 14, David Ben-Gurion had proclaimed Israel's independence in Tel Aviv, quickly recognized by the United States, the Soviet Union and many other countries. On the same day of the British withdrawal from the region, Egyptian, Iraqi, Lebanese, Syrian and Trans-Jordanian troops, supported by Libyan, Saudi and Yemeni volunteers, began the invasion of the newly proclaimed Jewish state.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
