The Crusades were a series of holy wars between the Christian world of the west and the Muslim world of the east. These wars led to the death of millions and lasted for centuries. With these wars came several long term effects, the most important being the strain relationship between Islam and Christianity, territory expansion, and trade expansion.

Crusades The crusades was a Holy war between the Christians and the Muslims. It started in Europe and because they wanted to free the Holy Land from Infidels. It sated in the year 1095.

Popular scholarship has displayed a tendency to portray jihad as endemic to Islam, while the crusades are often depicted as an aberration of Holy War, however an analysis of points of convergence counters this view. Though the formalization of these traditions initially divided them from the majority of the pagan populace, the resultant conceptions of Holy War helped to unite the

"has there ever been a just war? The theory has been criticised for being ‘hopelessly unrealistic’, idealistic, assuming a very high standard of morals on both sides and failing to take into account the mult­iple reasons relating to international relations and internal affairs that contribute to war. For example, ‘intent’ can be highly complex and Jones argues that to select a ‘just cause’ is a moral fiction: wars have mul­­t­iple causes and to choose one as justification is unlikely to do justice

One example is when Pope Urban II called for a holy war or crusade against Muslim Turks. “Your Brethren who live in the (Middle) East are in Urgent need of your help… For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania,” the Pope is calling for the followers of the church to unite and fight against a common enemy (DBQ 1-13).

Century War Was Just and a Holy War On 2nd September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Wars are started for many reasons, but can they ever be justified? This essay will analyse whether the factors causing the Second World War were justified. Augstine, a Christian leader in the Middle Ages, devised the Just War Theory. The Christian thinker Thomas Aquinas then adapted this theory, which then formed the basis of the UN conditions for a just war. To

took place in the 11th century that attempted to recapture the Holy Land of Jerusalem, called upon by Pope Urban II could be considered a Christian Holy similar to Muslim’s calling for Jihad. Jihad in Islamic practice is a Holy War fought by Muslims to guard and/or spread their belief as a civic duty.

that religious leaders that come from religions of peace are starting deadly wars in the name of their God? Leaders like Pope Urban 11 and Muhammad have started wars in the name of their God. There has been about 200,000,000 deaths due to holy wars, so should someone be justified in initiating one?
