Best Answer

People usually want revenge or something. Like the crusades for example were actually caused when Turks started raiding Byzantian lands. Even though the Catholic Church and the Orthedox church were different, they had a some-what close relationship. The pope enraged called for a crusade in which they took several cities in the "Holy Lands." The next three crusades were fought over that land and more. Many historians believe that the leaders/rulers of these and more wars fought because of religion, but they do believe that religion was one reason people joined the army and didn't get upset with their rulers for being in nearly pointless wars.
