The crusades were in every way a defensive war.

LOL! That means then by definition, that WWI was defensive and that England was merely taking back from the Ottoman Empire that which it had lost 1300 years previous. WWI was really part of the Crusades!

What part of "Crusades" baffles you dog?
The religious component maybe?
The historical context perhaps?

This is no longer the 12th century Dorothy...
