How did the destruction of the First and Second Temples contribute to the diaspora of the Jewish people?

It wasn't so much the destruction itself that contributed to the diaspora. It was the fact that the Temple was destroyed by foreign armies who had overrun the Holy Land. These armies killed hundreds of thousands of Jews. In the First Destruction, the Babylonians carried the Jewish population off to captivity in Babylonia: they forced the Jews into diaspora. If it weren't for that, the Jews would have remained in their land even without the Temple.
In the Second Destruction, the Romans didn't force all the Jews out of the land, but they did kill over one million Jews and enslave many others. The whole central region of the land was depopulated. They also imposed harsh decrees and taxes, and many of the Jews chose to emigrate to Babylonia and elsewhere; again, not because of the Destruction of the Temple, but because of the harsh conditions in the land. Unlike after the First Destruction, some of the Jews did remain in their land after the Second Destruction.
