This is a list of wars involving the State of Israel. Since its establishment in 1948, the State of Israel has fought eight recognized wars, two Palestinian intifadas, and a series of armed conflicts in the broader Arab–Israeli conflict.

On June 9, following an intense aerial bombardment, Israeli tanks and infantry advanced on a heavily fortified region of Syria called the Golan Heights. They successfully captured the Golan the next day. On June 10, 1967, a United Nations-brokered ceasefire took effect and the Six-Day War came to an abrupt end.

Apartheid (“apartness” in the language of Afrikaans) was a system of legislation that upheld segregationist policies against non-white citizens of South Africa. After the National Party gained power in South Africa in 1948, its all-white government immediately began enforcing existing policies of racial segregation.

Strategists in the National Party invented apartheid as a means to cement their control over the economic and social system. Initially, aim of the apartheid was to maintain white domination while extending racial separation. Racial discrimination was institutionalized with the enactment of apartheid laws in 1948.

Though apartheid was supposedly designed to allow different races to develop on their own, it forced black South Africans into poverty and hopelessness. Black people could not marry white people. They could not set up businesses in white areas. Everywhere from hospitals to beaches was segregated.

Various reasons can be given for apartheid, although they are all closely linked. The main reasons lie in ideas of racial superiority and fear. The other main reason for apartheid was fear, as in South Africa the white people are in the minority, and many were worried they would lose their jobs, culture and language.
