	Crusade
		In a broader sense a "crusade" was any war fought for religious reasons, especially the Spanish Reconquista, the Northern Crusades against the remaining pagan nations of northern Europe such as the Polabians and Lithuanians, and crusades against heresy, such as the Albigensian Crusade or the crusade against Bohemia, 1418-1437.
		Crusading imagery could be found even in the Crimean War, in which the United Kingdom and France were allied with the Muslim Ottoman Empire, and in the First World War, especially Allenby's capture of Jerusalem in 1917.
		The 13th century crusades never expressed such a popular fever, and after Acre fell for the last time in 1291, and after the extermination of the Occitan Cathars in the Albigensian Crusade, the crusading ideal became devalued by Papal justifications of political and territorial aggressions within Catholic Europe.
