Crusade

When long, long ago some people believed in different things about God, and they thought their way was the right way and the only way. They wanted to make sure everyone believed the same way as they did. So they fought hard to conquer people who believed in different things about God and force them to believe the same way.

These big fights were called "crusades." People on the crusade would travel long distances with swords and armor on their backs to conquer lands that did not believe in the same way as they did. They thought that they were doing the right thing, but lots of people were hurt and injured during these fights.

Today, we know that everyone can believe in their own ways without hurting others, and it's not okay to fight to make anyone believe in the same way as you. Let's make peace instead of war!
