History

Exile has long served as a political tool to remove someone from power while limiting their influence. Across different eras, it has been used against emperors, revolutionaries, writers, and religious leaders alike, often at moments of intense instability.

In some cases, exile was temporary and strategic, allowing figures to regroup and return. In others, it marked a permanent removal from power, ending in obscurity, assassination, or death far from home. And throughout history, many renowned figures have been exiled, such as Cleopatra, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Dalai Lama.
