Prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the most notable Diaspora Jewish communities existed in regions such as Central Asia (including areas like Babylon, modern-day Iraq), but there is no historical evidence of significant Jewish communities in Great Britain, Japan, or Southern Africa at that time. Therefore, the most appropriate response would be Central Asia.
