Aliyah means to go up or to move to Israel but an Aliyah also has another meaning which is illegal information to Israel. In the modern Zionist Settlement there were 6 Aliyot during Ottoman times and the British Mandate which refer to illegal immigration. The Aliyot lived across the world (mostly in Europe) and the Jewish immigrants felt disappointed for they had no equal rights like the Europeans.

The first Alliyah took place prior to Zionism immigration to Israel between 1882 to 1903. Most of the immigrants came from Russia and Yemen because they were discriminated against their religion. There were about 25,000 to 35,000 immigrants.
The second alliyah lasted until World War I. About half the immigrants left because of poor conditions and some were forced out by the Ottoman regulations. The immigrants were Russian Jews following pogroms and anti- Semitism in their country.
After World War I, the third aliyah came to Israel. The immigrants were consisted mostly of Russian and Europian Jews but arrived after the establishment of the British Mandate over Palastine and the Balfour Declaration and created a sustainable Jewish Agricultural economy by strengthening and building the kibbutz movement.

The fourth Aliyah took place over a short period of time from 1924 to 1929. It was mostly made up of Jews seeking to escape anti-Semitism in Poland and Hungary. Many of these immigrants were made up of middle-class families and after the immigration rules were established, they had to prove that they had some money with which to create small businesses and begin life in Palestine.
The fifth aliyah coincided with the rise of Nazism in Germany and extreme nationalism across Eastern Europe which consisted of the largest number of immigrants to date. About 200,000-250,000 Jews arrived between 1929 to 1939. This group of immigrants included professionals, doctors, lawyers and artists who created appealing art and architectural scene, and established a thriving economy after building Port of Haifa. Most immigrants arrived before 1936 when the British began introducing strict restrictions on Jewish immigration as a result of increasing anger and violence in the Palestinian Arab community. The British issued the White Paper of 1939, which severely restricted Jewish immigration, leaving many European Jews during the Holocaust with nowhere to go. Even though illegal immigration was dangerous, it became a necessity. By the time the United Nations agreed to split Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, a very well ordered and lively Jewish society had been created there.
The last Aliyah is Aliyah Bet which took place from 1939 to 1948 which brought over 100,000 new immigrants to Palestine. Some immigrants entered the country on visas issued under the "White Paper" rules and the majority came as illegal immigrants traveling by sea or land. As a result of fascism and anti-Semitism in Europe and World War II in the 1930's, provoked the Jews to escape their country. In Germany, Nazi persecutions forced many Jews to leave and about 200,000 went to Palestine. This sudden increase in the Jewish population led the British to forbid Jewish immigration, resulting in "illegal" immigration movement. Most countries including the United States closed their borders and Jewish imigrants had no choice but to settle in the land of Palestine.
