==For groups, nations, and governments== ===Nation in exile=== {{main|Diaspora|Refugee}} When a large group, or occasionally a whole people or [[nation]] is exiled, it can be said that this nation is in exile, or "diaspora". Nations that have been in exile for substantial periods include the [[Kingdom of Israel (Samaria)|Israelites]] by the Assyrian king [[Sargon II]] in 720 BCE, the [[Kingdom of Judah|Judeans]] who were deported by [[Babylon]]ian king [[Nebuchadnezzar II]] in 586 BC, and the [[Jews]] following the destruction of the second [[Temple in Jerusalem]] in AD 70. Jewish prayers include a yearning to return to [[Jerusalem]] and the [[Land of Israel]],<ref>Peter Richardson, ''Herod: King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans'', Univ. of South Carolina Press, 1996, p.98-99</ref> such as "[[L'Shana Haba'ah|Next Year in Jerusalem]]". After the [[Partitions of Poland]] in the late 18th century, and following the uprisings (like [[Kościuszko Uprising]], [[November Uprising]] and [[January Uprising]]) against the partitioning powers ([[Russian Empire|Russia]], [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]] and [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]]), many Poles have chosen – or been forced – to go into exile, forming large diasporas (known as [[Polish diaspora|Polonia]]), especially [[Poles in France|in France]] and [[Polish Americans|the United States]].<ref>{{cite book |first1=Robert |last1=Bideleux |first2=Ian |last2=Jeffries |title=A History of Eastern Europe: Crisis and Change |publisher=Routledge |year=1998 |page=156}}</ref> The entire population of [[Crimean Tatars]] (numbering 200,000 in all) that remained in their homeland of [[Crimean Peninsula|Crimea]] was exiled on 18 May 1944 to Central Asia as a form of [[ethnic cleansing]] and [[collective punishment]] on false accusations.<ref name="changonrevison">{{cite journal |last1=K.

Most of these self-identified as exiles as their motivation for leaving the island is political in nature. At the time of the Cuban Revolution, Cuba only had a population of 6.5 million, and was not a country that had a history of significant emigration, it being the sixth largest recipient of immigrants in the world as of 1958. Most of the exiles' children also consider themselves to be [[Cuban exile]]s. Under Cuban law, children of Cubans born abroad are considered Cuban citizens.<ref name="NorthAmerica">{{cite encyclopedia|last=Powell |first=John |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VNCX6UsdZYkC&q=%22cubans+are+usually+considered+to+be+the+most+successful%22&pg=PA68|encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of North American Immigration|pages=68–71|title=Cuban immigration |publisher=Facts on File |date=2005 |access-date=30 November 2016|isbn=9781438110127 }}</ref> An extension of colonial practices, Latin America saw widespread exile, of a political variety, during the 19th and 20th century.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Sznajder |first1=Mario |last2=Roniger |first2=Luis |date=2007 |title=Political Exile in Latin America |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27648031 |journal=Latin American Perspectives |volume=34 |issue=4 |pages=7–30 |doi=10.1177/0094582X07302891 |jstor=27648031 |s2cid=145378385 |issn=0094-582X|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Exiled political groups often develop complex media strategies, including diaspora engagement and investigative reporting, to maintain visibility, mobilise support, and address challenges of operating outside their home country.<ref> Chumakov, A.

One of the most well-known instances of this is the [[Polish government-in-exile]], a government in exile that commanded [[Polish contribution to World War II|Polish armed forces]] operating outside Poland, and the African-based [[Free French Forces]] government of [[Charles de Gaulle]] during the [[German-occupied Europe|German Occupation]] of Poland and France in [[World War II|WWII]]. Other post-war examples include the client [[All-Palestine Government|All Palestine Government]] established by the [[Kingdom of Egypt|Egyptian Kingdom]], and the [[Central Tibetan Administration]], commonly known as the Tibetan government-in-exile, and headed by the [[14th Dalai Lama]]. ===For inanimate objects=== [[Ivan the Terrible]] once exiled to Siberia an inanimate object: a bell.<ref>Salisbury, Harrison, "The Key to Moscow," J.B.
