Jewish Territorialist Organization
- Jewish Territorialist Organization
The Jewish Territorialist Organization, known as ITO, was a Jewish political movement formed in 1903. It was founded by Israel Zangwill after the official rejection of the sixth World Zionist Congress that year of the "British Uganda Program" an of land in East Africa for Jewish people put to Zionist leader Theodore Herzl by the British government. The ITO's members were known as territorialists or "ITOmen". ITO attempted to locate territory suitable for Jewish settlement in various parts of America (e.g. Galveston, Alaska), Africa, Asia, and Australia, but with little success. The ITO was dissolved in 1925, having lost impetus after the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
