It was the practice of the Babylonians to remove people from their ancestral homelands, in the belief that they would become assimilated into the wider empire and cease to be troublesome. In addition, the Babylonians took the upper echelon of Jewish society into the city of Babylon itself to help build an educated and noble class in that city. The Jews were not the only people to be exiled, nor the only ones to be allowed to return after the defeat of the Babylonian Empire (by Persian King Cyrus the Great).
As concerns the Roman Exile over 600 years later, this was as a result of Jewish Zealotry and Revolts in the Roman territory of Judea-Palaestina in the years 70 and 132 C.E. In an attempt to minimize the ability of the Jews to revolt again, they were dispersed.

Why was Israel scattered?
If you are referring to the event wherein the Assyrians scattered the Ten Lost Tribes of the Kingdom of Israel, the event was not uncommon in those days. The underlying idea was that people were very land-driven and community-driven. If a person was taken away from his community and his land, he would become more docile and less likely to revolt against Assyrian authority. Most peoples, like Arameans, Ugaritic, Hittite, and other nations that were similarly defeated were similarly scattered. The only reason we remember Israel is that the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which shared an origin story with the Northern Kingdom of Israel, was not conquered and disbursed by the Assyrians.
