1914 CE
Zionism in its theoretical formulations only takes practical effect with the coming to Palestine of the Second Aliyah.
Between 1904 and 1914, approximately forty thousand Jews have immigrated to Palestine in response to the pogroms that followed the attempted Russian revolution of 1905.
By the end of the Second Aliyah, the Jewish population of Palestine stands at about eighty-five thousand, or twelve percent of the total population.
The members of the Second Aliyah, unlike the colonists of the first, are dedicated socialists set on establishing Jewish settlement in Palestine along socialist lines.
They undertake a number of measures aimed at establishing an autonomous Jewish presence in Palestine, such as employing only Jewish labor and encouraging the widespread use of Hebrew.
