13th century conflicts
The 13th century was marked by significant conflicts such as the Mongol invasions, which expanded their empire across Asia and into Europe, disrupting established kingdoms. The Crusades continued, as European Christians aimed to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control, often leading to violent battles. European kingdoms also fought internally and with neighbors over land and power, exemplified by conflicts like the Hundred Years’ War. These conflicts reflected shifting political alliances, religious tensions, and the rise of powerful empires, shaping the political landscape of medieval Europe and Asia.
