Was there anything quite like the Crusades/Jihads anywhere else in the world? Where several nations of the same religion got together and declared war on other nations of another religion for centuries?

Delian Leagues (aka Athenian Empire) wars against Persia, they even had their HQ and treasure in a temple, and they used the same rationalization - "liberation of our clay from eastern oppressors". They ended up just like Crusaders - by becoming greedy and turning on their brothers in Sparta and Corinth.

This applies to Crusaders only, tbqh senpai.
The cold war with geopolitical alliances, however it was only 50 years

>Delian League vs Persian Empire
Doesn't work well as an example given that Sparta was constantly working with Persia and it'd be the equivalent to the entirety of Southern Europe fighting Northern Europe.

Sparta only worked with the Persians much later, after the big peace.

As soon as the Delian League became a thing they were financed and funded by Persia for a loooooooooong time.

I feel like a total doofus for not knowing /his/ memes, but what does, "clay," mean, in this context? I see it all the time.
>>467251
Clay is much, much older than /his/. It just means land/territory.
First Balkan War, the Orthodox Crusade. Too bad the coalition didn't last long.

/int/ (?) meme, clay = rightfully owned land. Eg Kosovo is stolen Serbian clay.
