Which statement best describes why the city of Jerusalem was such a contested territory in 20th century?

The city of Jerusalem was a contested territory in the 20th century because it is a holy city for three major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

For Jews, Jerusalem is the holiest city and the former site of the First and Second Temples. For Christians, it is the site of Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension. For Muslims, it is the third holiest city and the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

The争端 over Jerusalem has been a source of conflict and violence for centuries, and it has been a flashpoint for tension and violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the 20th century.
