Answer
The Uganda Scheme, proposed by Theodor Herzl in 1903, aimed to establish a Jewish homeland in Uganda, East Africa. Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain endorsed the proposal as a temporary solution until a permanent settlement could be found in Palestine. Despite initial enthusiasm, the plan faced strong opposition from within the Zionist movement, ultimately leading to its rejection at the Sixth Zionist Congress in 1903.
