2019-09-18 16:05:45 UTC

2019-09-18 16:05:46 UTC  

The islamic jihad had taken most of spain, itally and the states around greece before the crusades started, first taking back europe and then rataliating on merely jerusalam.

2019-09-18 16:05:53 UTC  

by their own accord of course lol

2019-09-18 16:06:00 UTC  

no conversion by sword here

2019-09-18 16:06:15 UTC  

I was told the crusades were unjustified, well that’s out the window

2019-09-18 16:06:25 UTC

2019-09-18 16:06:43 UTC  

Most people don’t even remember the Berber wars

2019-09-18 16:07:02 UTC  

Berber wars

2019-09-18 16:07:11 UTC  

The spanish were preparing for an all out invasion to retake africa and the middle east, but were waylayed by the discovery of america where gold was aplenty. Spain decided to use this expidition to farm capital for the invasion of the middle east and north africa. But then the brittish fleet sunk them in the middle of a hurricane.

Ya know Muslim pirates attacking US merchant ships for no reason either then “we were the infidels”

2019-09-18 16:07:38 UTC  

and they wanted slaves

2019-09-18 16:07:45 UTC  

thats a good reason too

2019-09-18 16:08:13 UTC  

I mean when you think about it, the crusades worked out well for Christians

2019-09-18 16:08:16 UTC

2019-09-18 16:08:17 UTC  

No, europe had its own source of slaves without trading with africa or invading america. The SLAVic people.

2019-09-18 16:08:28 UTC  

United kangdom

2019-09-18 16:08:34 UTC

2019-09-18 16:08:40 UTC

2019-09-18 16:08:43 UTC  

Their kingdom was the origin of the european word slave

2019-09-18 16:09:01 UTC  

All I think is the polish are good workers lol

2019-09-18 16:09:13 UTC

2019-09-18 16:09:52 UTC  

At least you’re English lol

2019-09-18 16:09:56 UTC  

Also in general, slave was more a class than straight up turning you into property. It was the class of prisoners and debtors and you could earn your way out. Not like the slavery in the middle east

2019-09-18 16:10:14 UTC  

The Irish were also slaves

2019-09-18 16:10:25 UTC  

as vee said, slavery was a moral improvement over mass murder

2019-09-18 16:10:29 UTC  

slightly more humane

2019-09-18 16:10:52 UTC  

Yeah pretty much every country ever was built on blood

2019-09-18 16:10:56 UTC  

and then we came along and said "you know what's a moral improvement over slavery? not slavery"

2019-09-18 16:10:57 UTC  

;p;

2019-09-18 16:11:06 UTC  

Ye, but at some point your society should be past the whole slave thing
