”The signal event of this aliyah wave was the Nazi accession to power in Germany (1933). Persecution and the Jews’ worsening situation caused aliyah from Germany to increase, and aliyah from Eastern Europe to resume. Many of the immigrants from Germany were professionals; their impact was to be felt in many fields of endeavor. Within a four-year period (1933-1936), 174,000 Jews settled in the country.”

The signal event of this aliyah wave was the Nazi accession to power in Germany (1933). Persecution and the Jews’ worsening situation caused aliyah from Germany to increase, and aliyah from Eastern Europe to resume. Many of the immigrants from Germany were professionals; their impact was to be felt in many fields of endeavor. Within a four-year period (1933-1936), 174,000 Jews settled in the country. The towns flourished as new industrial enterprises were founded and construction of the Haifa port and the oil refineries was completed. Throughout the country, “stockade and tower” settlements were established. During this period in 1929 and again in 1936-39 violent Arab attacks on the Jewish population took place, called “disturbances” by the British. The British government imposed restrictions on immigration, resulting in Aliyah Bet — clandestine, illegal immigration.
By 1940, nearly 250,000 Jews had arrived during the Fifth Aliyah (20,000 of them left later) and the yishuv’s population reached 450,000. From this time on, the practice of “numbering” the waves of immigration was discontinued which is not to say that aliyah had exhausted itself.

[1924-1929]
”The Fourth
Aliyah was a direct result of the economic crisis and anti-Jewish policies in Poland, along with the introduction of stiff immigration quotas by the United States. Most of the immigrants belonged to the middle class and brought modest sums of capital with which they established small businesses and workshops. Tel Aviv grew. Notwithstanding the yishuv’s economic woes, with an economic crisis in 1926-1928, the Fourth
Aliyah did much to strengthen the towns, further industrial development and reinstate Jewish labor in the villages.
In all, the Fourth Aliyah brought 82,000 Jews to Palestine, of whom 23,000 left.

ANTI COLONIALIST PERSPECTIVE], WHICH ALSO QUOTES FROM THE JEWISH VIRTUAL LIBRARY ABOUT THE E4TH AND 5TH JEWISH
IMMIGRATION WAVE TO PALESTINE [4TH AND 5TH ALIYAH]
”The bulk of the Zionist population arrived in Palestine during the
4th and
5th Zionist immigration waves -Aliyot- (Between 1924-1939). That means that the majority of those demanding partition of the land had barely been living there for 20 years at the most.”
