The American Zion Commonwealth (Hebrew: קהילת ציון אמריקאית) was a
Zionist settlement corporation that played an important part in the Jewish settlement of Palestine before the establishment of the State of Israel.
The American Zion Commonwealth company was founded in the United States in 1914 by American Zionists with the purpose of acquiring lands for Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel.[1] During World War I, the company's activities were suspended, but with the conquest of the land by the British and the establishment of the British Mandate, the company returned to full operation. It was most active in the 1920s.
