Which country did the British originally offer as a homeland for the Jews?

Arpeggionist

Some land in what is now Uganda and Tanzania. The offer was accepted in the 6th Zionist Congress in 1904, but Theodore Herzl died the following year, and there were many who did not want to settle for Uganda. Besides, by then there were two waves of immigration in Turkish Palestine.

Thank goodness things turned out differently. Dec 01 04, 7:20 AM

His father made his name in manufacturing soup in a South American country before returning to his homeland.
