Does any group of people have a list of historical expulsions other then jews
Executive summary
Yes: historians and reference projects compile systematic lists of expulsions and ethnic-cleansing campaigns that cover many peoples besides Jews, from Albanians and Greeks to indigenous and nomadic groups; however, the reporting provided here emphasizes Jewish expulsions and offers only a partial window into broader catalogues and scholarly efforts to document other expulsions [1] [2] [3].
1. A broader documentary tradition: lists of ethnic cleansing and forced removals
Reference compilations and encyclopedic projects explicitly catalog expulsions across many populations—Wikipedia’s “List of ethnic cleansing campaigns,” for example, inventories episodes affecting Albanians, Turks, Greeks, Muslims and others and situates Jewish expulsions among a larger set of forced migrations and annihilation campaigns [1], while multidisciplinary treatments in political science and history (as in the Princeton Encyclopedia entry on “Ethnic Expulsions”) frame expulsions as recurring statecraft across eras that targeted nomadic, indigenous, religious and ethnic groups [2].
2. Scholarly studies take a comparative approach, not a single-group monopoly
Modern historians treat expulsion as a policy tool used against diverse categories of people; Stanford scholarship highlights that expulsions in medieval Europe did not only target Jews but also Christian moneylenders, and that comparative research helps disentangle motives and diffusion of expulsion practices across polities [3]. Academic work mapping the diffusion of expulsions—such as studies of the Holy Roman Empire—treat expulsions as social and political phenomena that can and should be compared across targeted groups, demonstrating that the practice is a common subject of study beyond Jewish history [4].
3. Different types of lists and archives exist, with different emphases
Some lists are thematic and global—ethnic-cleansing timelines and encyclopedias that aim for comprehensiveness across time and region [1] [2]—while others are community- or identity-focused compilations that document the expulsions of a single group in depth, a pattern especially visible in Jewish historiography [5] [6]. The sources provided show both approaches: detailed, repeated cataloguing of Jewish expulsions across centuries [5] [6] [7], and more general lists that include many other cases of forced removal and population transfer [1].
4. Why the literature often foregrounds Jewish expulsions, and what that means for other lists
Multiple sources explain why Jewish expulsions are especially well documented: the centrality of exile in Jewish history, recurrent legal edicts and well-preserved communal records, and extensive modern historiography that aggregates medieval and early modern expulsions into accessible lists [5] [7] [6]. That intensive focus does not imply exclusivity; rather, it means that comparable documentation for other groups sometimes exists in different venues—state archives, postwar commissions, or thematic works on indigenous dispossession—but those venues are not fully represented in the excerpted reporting here [2].
5. Limits of the available reporting and practical guidance
The materials provided are rich on Jewish expulsions and include a general list of ethnic-cleansing campaigns and interpretive scholarship, but they do not offer a single, comprehensive catalogue for every non-Jewish group; the Princeton and Wikipedia entries demonstrate that such lists do exist for many peoples [1] [2], while Stanford’s comparative work points to scholarly methods for assembling them [3]. Where reporting is silent, no definitive claim is made about a particular group’s presence or absence in external databases; further targeted searches in genocide/ethnic-cleansing databases, national archives, and specialized scholarship would be required to assemble exhaustive lists for specific non-Jewish peoples.
