diaspora

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

diaspora

Dispersal of the Jews, initially from Israel and Judah 586–538 BC after the Babylonian conquest (the Babylonian Captivity, or exile); and then the major diaspora following the Roman sacking of Jerusalem in AD 70 and their crushing of the Jewish revolt of 135. The term has come to refer to all the Jews living outside Israel.

‘Diaspora’ is sometimes applied to the enforced dispersal of other peoples; for example, that of the Armenians by the Turks between 1909 and 1915 and of black Africans as a result of the slave trade.
