Just like the <span>Tramecksans and the Slamecksans are fighting over wearing high vs. low heels, Lilliput and Blefuscu are fighting over the right way of breaking eggs. Furthermore, it's an old conflict, which started when the Emperor's great-grandfather was alive. Swift makes these things causes of conflicts because he wants the reader to infer that politics is far too often brought down to petty trinkets which are not even worth considering. Even more, wars are being fought in the name of such conflicts. Of course, there is more to it than meets the eye: wars are the way to acquire material goods. But the common people still believe this nonsense, letting themselves be fooled.</span>

Swift is suggesting that wars are absurd.

What were the religious political and economic motivations behind the crusades?
gayaneshka [121]

The Crusades were called because of religious devotion but the call was answered because to the desire for political and economic gain.

A call went out for soldiers to take Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks.  

Many second and third sons answered the call. In the Holy Land they could carve out principalities and become Lords. In Western Europe the land was all taken. The call was answer by most Crusaders for dreams of political and economic gain.

The Eastern Roman Empire had appealed for help became of the amount of land and control that they had lost to the Seljuk Turks.  

The agreement with the Pope was that the Crusaders would liberate not only Jerusalem but the lands lost to the control of the Turks.  

When the Crusaders liberated the land they kept the land for themselves. This showed that the reasons that the Crusaders answered the call was not religious devotion but economic greed.

Haha, hope this helps. <3 !
