Impact on World History
For Judaism to be as small of a religion as it was, they had quite a big impact on the world around them. In the beginning of their religion, they were disliked by all of the groups around them. These groups were the Persians, the Nazis, the Babylonians, the Greeks, and the Romans. All of these groups, or enemies, found a way to hurt the Jews, whether it be by expulsion, forced conversion of religion or massacre. Jews were forbidden to have their religion and it got worse when Adolf Hitler wanted to get rid of all the Jews, resulting in the Holocaust. Even though the Jews went through all of that, they never gave up trying to spread their religion. Eventually the State of Israel was made and the Jews could have their religion in the place it began. Also, our modern world gets a lot of principles from the Jewish people. A Jewish man was also the person who started the Nobel Prize and over ⅕ of the prizes are awarded to Jews.
