The Diaspora (scattering of the Jewish communities) began at the destruction of the First Temple, some 24 centuries ago. At that time, Jewish communities were established in North Africa, Iraq, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, and adjacent areas. From there, they gradually spread to further regions.

What is the religion with Diaspora and Zionism?

The religion you are looking for is Judaism, however Diaspora is not an exclusively Jewish term and Zionism is not an exclusively Jewish phenomenon. Diaspora applies to any ethnic group living outside of its original land. While the Jewish Diaspora is the most famous, there is also the Armenian Diaspora, the Palestinian Diaspora, the Greek Diaspora, the Circassian Diaspora, and numerous other Diasporas. Zionism is the belief that the Jews should have political self-sovereignty and is the patriotic sentiment behind the Establishment of the State of Israel. It is entirely political in nature and a large number of Zionists are Christians, even though the the question is about Jewish sovereignty. Similarly, a person does not have to be Polish to support the right of Poles to have self-determination (as Woodrow Wilson did in 1918) or a person does not have to be Bengali to believe that Bangladesh had the right to be free of India in 1947 and Pakistan in 1971. Additionally, there are some Jews who are either apathetic towards Zionism or are Anti-Zionist.

What events led up to the diaspora?

The diaspora, particularly the Jewish diaspora, was primarily influenced by a series of historical events, including the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE, which forced many Jews to leave their homeland. Subsequent conquests, such as the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, further dispersed Jewish communities throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. Political, social, and economic factors, including persecution and the search for better opportunities, contributed to the ongoing migration of various groups, solidifying the diaspora as a significant aspect of their identity and history.
