Empire of Yisrael

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Empire of Yisrael, also known as Greater Yisrael, was the dominant foreign policy of the Kingdom of Yisrael roughly running from 1891 to 1950. It described the nationalist and imperialist sentiments of the Yisraeli leadership during the height of the Era of Great Nationalism.

At its peak in 1949, the Empire of Yisrael included Yisrael proper (current-day borders), as well as the Zivan Strip and the Protectorate of Gran Aligonia. During this time, it alternately laid claim to the Sydalene-controlled north bank of the Yarden River Valley or all of Sydalon itself.

The policy and term fell out of usage after the 1919 Revolution, when the absolute monarchy was overthrown. However, it saw a revival in the 1930s and 1940s under General Azoulay's regime. After his overthrow amid the Year of Blood, the policy was abandoned by all but the Yisraeli far right.
