Do you know how long this war as been ongoing?
FOURTEEN CENTURIES!
- It started in 632 when Mohammad died
- The first big reversal came in 732 at the Battle of Tours in southern France
- in 100 years the Muslims had conquered all of North Africa, large parts of the Iberian peninsula to the West and god knows much land and peoples to the northeast on Mecca
- Multiple battles are recorded, the Sieges of Vienna, Lepanto (where Cervantes was wounded and became known as “El Manco de Lepanto,” The One-Armed Man of Lepanto), the Crusades, the 20th century wars in The Levant (sunrise).
I know why I’m on which side.
