Great powers have compelled people to relocate since they began to appear with the development of agriculture.

The Assyrians invented that policy, and they haven't lived down the reputation it earned them even after 28 centuries. They stank then and were reviled by humanity, and their memory still stinks. The fall of Nineveh in 612 BC is still one of the beacon events of human history.
