Answer 1

Prior to the destruction of the Second Temple, diaspora communities of Jewish people were mainly located in Central Asia and Roman provinces including Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. Diaspora communities in Central Asia, such as in modern-day Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan, had existed since ancient times. Great Britain, Japan, and Southern Africa did not have significant Jewish diaspora communities before the destruction of the Second Temple.
