In Late classical times, its capital of Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed, and Christianity developed from it. Rabbinic Judaism developed among most of the Jews. In early classical times, the Jewish people were dispersed and severely persecuted by the Christians. In late medieval times, this persecution continued. Its modern history in the 16th century and 17th century is not clear. In the 18th century, various movements and sects began to arise within Judaism, and in the 19th century these became more significant, and a Zionist movement, one which encouraged a return of the Jews to Israel, began. In the 20th century there have been other developments. The early 20th century can be considered. The possible settlement of Jews in Palestine was being considered in the early-mid 20th century, and in the mid 20th century, the state of Israel was established. In the late-mid 20th century it became a focus of international attention, and in the late 20th century has continued. In the early 21st century, developments in Judiasm have continued. Its future is obscure.
