With Jewish migration, yes. In classical times, Jews moved (after the First Destruction) to North Africa, Central Asia, southern Europe, and every country in between. In Medieval times, Jews lived throughout Europe and western Russia as well. But as far as getting new populations to become Jewish, no (with three exceptions), since the Torah does not ask us to urge anyone to become Jewish; and certainly not to coerce them.
The three exceptions are:
The Idumeans in Transjordan, whom Johanan Hyrcanus (a Hasmonean king) forcibly converted around 2100 years ago. That act was ill-advised, as the Idumeans later caused heartbreak when they gave rise to Antipater and Herod, under whom the Jews suffered.
The Khazars converted around 1300 years ago. They did so under the decision of their king. It is not clear how many people made this step; some historians say that only the royal house became Jews.
The third group are the converts who join the Jews in each generation. The Torah stresses that no non-Jew is commanded to convert; anyone who does so must decide for themselves.
No.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were all founded in southwest Asia, more specifically the Middle East.
It was Judaism that taught the Western world about God.Dictionaries define "Judaism" as The monotheistic religion of the Jews, since the founding principle of Judaism was and is the belief in One God. This was the teaching which was spread by Abraham, and has continued since then. From Judaism, belief in One God has spread through the Western world.See also the Related Links.Link: A biography of AbrahamLink: What do Jews believe God is like
Since they were sea traders they traded with many other countries, and they exchanged ideas. In addition they spread their culture through conquering other countries
It unified countries and cultures and spread ideas between countries
As the Jews began living in all the European countries.
The way the question is written implies agency. Most of Judaism's spread was based on necessary migrations of Jews from other countries. Judaism spread by way of people moving, not populations converting. Jews spread throughout the Roman Empire, expanded out through much of Europe and also spread to the New World and Australia, before the mass return of Jews to Israel.
Judaism spread fast so equals yes
Judaism did not spread at all in Rome. The Ancient Romans were hostile to Jewish practice.
The spread of Judaism may be called spacial distribution or diaspora. The spacial distribution of Jews differs from that of any other ethnic religion. This is because Judaism is practiced in many countries, not just its place of origin. But the spread of Judaism might be caused by diaspora, the action of when the Romans forced Jews to disperse throughout the world. The Romans had forced the diaspora after demolishing an attempt by the Jews to rebel against Roman rule.
No.
Judaism was spread by the repeated expulsion of Jewish people from places where they had lived. Wherever they went, they took their Judaism with them. The people who helped spread Judaism were comprised of those who ever said "We gotta get these $%@#& out of our nerighborhood". Also, to be precise and avoid a misconception that the question may imply . . . Judaism spread geographically, with Jews who migrated geographically. It was never spread by persuasion, because Judaism has never included a proselytizing ethic. That means that Jews do not try to convert people.
