提及世界性的战争,人们首先想到的是20世纪的两次世界大战,很少有人会想到中世纪发生的另一场历时两个世纪,动用兵力数十万、涉及欧、亚、非三大洲的世界性战争——十字军东征。“按照上帝的旨意行事!”这是当年无数基督徒参加十字军去解放土耳其人占领下的“圣地”的战斗口号。然而,历史却同他们开了个残酷的玩笑。这场为“理想”而发动的战争远非他们想像的那么简单。 When it comes to world wars, people first came to mind of the two world wars of the 20th century. Few would think of another period in the Middle Ages that lasted for two centuries and used hundreds of thousands of troops, involving three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa World War - Crusades. “Act in accordance with the will of God!” This was the fighting slogan of countless Christians who participated in the Crusades to liberate the “Holy Land” under the Turkish occupation. However, history made a cruel joke with them. The war started for “Ideal ” is far from the simple one they think.
