The word "diaspora" is used to refer to any people or ethnic population forced or induced to leave their traditional ethnic homelands; being dispersed.
The earliest Diaspora of the Israelites occurred when the Assyrians expelled the Ten Tribes from the Holy Land, some 2600 years ago. They haven't returned; and their eventual fate is ambiguous.
The Diaspora which we usually speak of began later, after the First Destruction some 2450 years ago, when the populace of Judea was expelled by the Babylonians; and not all of the exiles returned when the Second Temple was built. Many Jews remained in the surrounding countries, especially Babylonia (Iraq), but also in southern Europe, North Africa and elsewhere.
Later, after the Second Destruction (in 68 CE), there was no complete depopulation of Judea (Israel), but most of the Jewish residents gradually migrated out, as conditions there became untenable. By around 450 CE, the Jewish communities in the Holy Land were just a shadow of their former selves; but they never disappeared. We know of Yeshivas and small numbers of Jewish communities in the Holy Land throughout the centuries.
