Some of the most famous examples include:
- Jewish Pogroms in Germany, France, and England during the Third Crusade
- Jewish Banishment from England
- Almohad Massacres of Jews in Morocco and Spain
- Spanish Expulsion and Inquisition in 1492
- Portuguese Expulsion in 1497
- Trial of Alfred Dreyfus 1896
- Russian Pogroms, especially Kishinev in 1903
- World War II / Holocaust 1935-1945
- Farhud in Iraq 1941
However, with the exception of Western-leaning states in the second half of the nineteenth century and parts of the twentieth, Jews faced persecution everywhere they lived. In most like the various European States, the Arab World, and the Turkish Sultanates this was legal persecution where Jews had fewer privileges or rights, had additional taxes, could only live in certain areas, could only work in certain professions, were slandered with impunity by both the government and private citizens, etc. In other places, like the United States, the discrimination was "understood" but illegal on its face such as being rejected from institutions of higher learning, being denied jobs that they were fully qualified for, being prevented from living in districts, etc.
