Crusades

When the term "crusade" is used to refer to a noble quest, the groups who suffered from the original medieval crusades are not happy.

The Crusades killed and displaced even more Jews from what had by then become known as Palestine, at the same time as Crusaders killed many European Jews.

The primary motivation of the Crusades was economic, not religious.

Armenians participated in the Crusades alongside European Christians.

In the end, all of the Crusades were failures.

The Crusades were fought in an attempt to regain land colonized by the Roman Empire.

America fits right into the rest of the history of Christianity: Roman imperialism, the Crusades, colonialism, the Inquisition, and the Native American genocide.
