Original Note:
The idea of "Israel" certainly "existed" before 1947 - as the story of Jewish origins and what Jewish people referred to as the area around Jerusalem for over 2 thousand years. However, this British Empire Map (1801) shows the area was officially known as "Palestine". https://www.britishempire.co.uk/images2/egypt1801map.jpg
