Holy War

A Holy War is a conflict fought primarily for religious reasons, where participants believe their cause is divinely supported or mandated. Such wars often aim to protect or expand religious beliefs, territories, or communities considered sacred. Throughout history, Holy Wars have been justified by leaders and followers as necessary to uphold faith, often blending theological motives with political or territorial ambitions. While rooted in religious conviction, these conflicts can lead to significant violence and societal impact, highlighting how deeply intertwined religion and politics can become when faith is used to justify warfare.
