Guilds were formed by workers in crafts of a town or city to prevent competition from outside their organization. They set themselves up in such a way that a person who wanted to practice their trade or craft had to join, and the process of joining was not easy. In time, the idea of monopolizing a trade or craft was extended so merchants were doing the same thing. Also, groups of guilds in a town or city supported each other, as did guild organizations from different areas. The result was that the organizations could become powerful enough to wage war, if they had to, or operate military campaigns to rid areas of pirates.
