| - | '''Émigré''' is a [[French language|French]] term that literally refers to a person who has "migrated out," but often carries a connotation of politico-social self-[[exile]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The French Protestants ([[Huguenot]]s), who were forced to leave France, following the [[Edict of Fontainebleau|Revocation of the Edict of Nantes]], settled in bordering countries, which they sought to use as a base for counterrevolution. | ||
| - | |||
| - | After the [[Storming of the Bastille]], King [[Louis XVI of France]] directed several of the most conservative members of his court to leave the country for fear that they might be assassinated. Among this first group of émigrés were the king’s youngest brother, the [[Charles X of France|Comte d'Artois]], and Queen [[Marie Antoinette]]'s best friend, the [[Gabrielle de Polastron, duchesse de Polignac|Duchesse de Polignac]]. Later, in coordination with the king's [[Flight to Varennes|failed attempt to escape Paris]], the king's other brother, the [[Louis XVIII of France|Comte de Provence]], also emigrated. | ||

| - | [[Karl Marx|Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels|Engels]], in setting out the strategy for future revolutions in ''[[The Communist Manifesto]]'', included the provision that the property of émigrés should be confiscated and used to finance the revolution — a recommendation followed by the [[Bolsheviks]] seventy years later. | ||

| - | The October Revolution brought over 20,000 Russian emigrants to [[Finland]]. Many of these however moved on to France, [[Paris]] being the favorite destination for Russian émigrés. | ||

| - | Unlike ''émigré'', the term ''[[exile]]'' remains politically neutral and includes people from whatever side of the political spectrum who had to leave their homeland, often for political reasons, and who wish to return. | ||
