Long before the time of Christ there had been a Jewish diaspora in Egypt and other countries of the Middle East, as well as Rome and elsewhere. The Jewish wars of c 70 and 132 CE also resulted in the Jews being expelled from Jerusalem and neighbouring regions. Many of these migrated to Galilee, Egypt and neighbouring countries. Eventually, a large Jewish diaspora community grew up in Rome, as well as in other major European centres. Christian persecution later resulted in the majority of the Roman Jews migrating to then-Islamic Spain, from which they subsequently emigrated to the Middle East. Over the centuries, Judaism has sought converts from among the pagans and, later, Christians of Europe. In one case, the conversion to Judaism of a Russian tribal chief led to the entire tribe converting. The fair-skinned, Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazic Jews did not 'end up' in Europe in the 1940s, they were the descendants of immigrant Jews and European converts to Judaism, from early in the common era.
