The question answers itself.
Specifically, the "Babylonian Exile" refers to the invasion of Judea by Babylon in 586 B.C.E. and the deportation of the Jewish population of Judea to Babylon. The Babylonian Exile ended in 534 B.C.E. when King Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon and permitted the Jews in Babylon to return to the southern Levant.

The books of Ezra And Nehemiah describe what event in Jewish history?
The return of several tens of thousands of Jews from the Babylonian exile and the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple.
The single most important event in Jewish history is their exodus from .?
From a historical perspective, the single most important event in Jewish history was the Babylonian Exile, but this, and the return from Exile, are not really an 'Exodus'.The story of the Exodus from Egypt was important in Jewish biblical tradition, but not in history. Nearly all scholars say there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, so the Exodus could not be important in a normal historical sense.
What was the significance of the exile in Babylon for Jewish people?
The Babylonian exile showed that the warnings of the Torah (Leviticus ch.26) were serious and were prophecies that had now come true, with all that that implies. The Babylonian exile exonerated the true prophets such as Jeremiah, and exposed the lies of the false prophets.
Why were the Jewish people kept as slaves?
According to the Torah, the only time in Jewish history where the Israelites (ancesters of the Jews) were clearly depicted as being kept as slaves was in ancient Egypt. They were enslaved out of fear that they would create an army and oppose Egypt. During the Babylonian exile, the captivity of Israel could also be interpreted as slavery. In modern history, one could reasonably argue that the Holocaust (1933-1945) was also a period of Jewish slavery, and that was due to hatred. but the ultimate goal of the Holocaust was not slave labor; it was genocide.
Who predicted the Babylonian Exile?
No-one predicted the Babylonian Captivity. It was once thought that Isaiah did, because he wrote of the times of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, but then began to write of the Babylonian Exile. However, scholars now know that the Book of Isaiah was really written by two different people. Isaiah, known today as First Isaiah for convenience, wrote about the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, just as he outlined in the introduction to the Book. Another, anonymous author, living during the Babylonian Exile, added to the Book, based on his personal experiences during the Exile.
Is there evidence of Jewish history in the Babylonian writings?

All nations of people have unique experiences and so all peoples are in some ways unique. The exile to Babylon certainly did not make the Jewish people especially unique, but the permission to return was probably unique in history. Only some of their contemporaries, also exiled by the Babylonians, were ever afforded this chance. So the Return from the Babylonian Exile was the one great event in Jewish history that made them truly unique.
