Crusades would have to be my favorite I think. Just something romantic about defending Europe, Christianity, and our way of Life from Slimes bent on destroying it.

If you want to honor the crusaders, you should start by at least respecting what they fought for, which was an ideology quite alien to modern ethnic or geographic nationalism, closer in many ways to the culture of many Islamic countries.

You're and idiot, get out of my board

That greentext is actually even worse than the initial meme.

To say that the Mongols were the reason the Islamic expansion stopped is so historical incorrect it makes historians vomit into their own mouth.

The Abbasid Caliphate was maybe 5% of its original size by then.

> and aside from the first they were failures

Norwegian crusade, Venetian crusade, third crusade, crusade of 1197, sixth crusade, barons crusade etc. etc.

The concept of a united Europe never existed back then. It was about politics with the guise of religion to stir up fervor.
