WHAT DOES RESETTLEMENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Population transfer

Population transfer or resettlement is the movement of a large group of people from one region to another, often a form of forced migration imposed by state policy or international authority and most frequently on the basis of ethnicity or religion. Banishment or exile is a similar process, but is forcibly applied to individuals and groups. Often the affected population is transferred by force to a distant region, perhaps not suited to their way of life, causing them substantial harm. In addition, the loss of all immovable property and, when rushed, the loss of substantial amounts of movable property, is implied. This transfer may be motivated by the more powerful party's desire to make other uses of the land in question or, less often, by disastrous environmental or economic conditions that require relocation. In Europe, the last major population transfer took place during was the deportation of 800,000, and displacement of 250,000 other ethnic Albanian's during the Kosovo war in 1999, while the most tremendous population transfers in Europe account for ethnical politics of Soviet Union under Stalin leadership.
