Expulsions refer to the act of removing a person or group from a place, often in a formal or official manner. This can occur in various contexts, such as schools, where students may be expelled for violating rules, or in political situations, where individuals may be expelled from a country due to legal or security reasons. In history, expulsions have often been linked to social, political, or religious conflicts. For example, the Spanish Inquisition led to the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Spain in the late 15th century. Such actions can have significant impacts on communities and individuals, leading to displacement and loss of rights.
