1946 - Sparks of David

The United Nations is underway
By '46, but soon in Palestine
There's trouble, Jewish paramilitary
Group bombs the Brits' HQ, Britain declines
To rule there further - can the UN find
A resolution? East of the Jordan
That's all Arab. Down in the Argentine
Peron (with new wife) becomes President
Derby win the Cup by beating Charlton
India's promised its freedom by Attlee
Nehru elected Congress leader. Signs
Of major conflict, Hindu and Muslim
Italy abolishes monarchy
While Greece clings to its own for a short time
