1 answer:

4 0

Carl Schurz was against the imperialism that the United States was implementing by fighting in the Philippine War. He denounced the acquisition of several territories as a violation of the principles of the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The Spanish American War was not something to be proud of even though he commended the soldiers for their efforts. He mentioned the purpose of the war should have been the liberation of the people from the Philippines but unfortunately it became a war of conquest, the United States needed to withdraw carefully to make sure the American principles would remain intact.

Ivenika [448]

The reason and cause of the crusades was a war between Christians and Moslems which centered around the city of Jerusalem and the Holy places of Palestine. The City of Jerusalem held a Holy significance to the Christian religion. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem commemorated the hill of crucifixion and the tomb of Christ's burial. Pilgrims throughout the Middle Ages made sacred pilgrimages to the Holy city of Jerusalem and the church. Although the city of Jerusalem was held by the Saracens the Christian pilgrims had been granted safe passage to visit the Holy city. In 1065 Jerusalem was taken by the Turks, who came from the kingdom of ancient Persia. 3000 Christians were massacred and the remaining Christians were treated so badly that throughout Christendom people were stirred to fight in crusades. These actions aroused a storm of indignation throughout Europe and awakened the desire to rescue the Holy Land from the grasp of the "infidel."
