What countries were concidered the holy land and who did they fight?
The holy land was in the middle east, Jerusalem. The main war that happened there was the Crusades. This was fought between the Christian Europeans and the Arabic people because Jerusalem is a very holy place in both Islam and Christianity.
How did religion affect the punic wars?
Not at all - it was not a war about religion. Peoples recignised the equivalence of their gods, and so did not fight over them. It was not until the advent of the exclusivist religions - Judaism-Christianity-Islam that religious wars became popular.
What are two more monotheistic religions other than Judaism?
Christianity is unique because it requires belief in Jesus Christ as divine and as Saviour who died for the sins of mankind and rose from the grave. The Bible contains the same scripture that Judaism uses because the God of Judaism is the same as the God of Christianity. The two diverge at the point of identifying Jesus as the awaited Messiah and the teachings He brought which differed somewhat to the practises Judaism had adopted. Allah in Islam is not the same as the God of the Bible, having quite different characteristics. The New Testament which is the essence of Christianity is not followed by any other religion.
Which war was sparked by religious conflict?
Religios war was once rare - generally they recognised the equivalence of the pantheon of gods - eg Pompey, on capturing Jerusalem, went to the temple and sacrificiced to Jehovah, recognising him as the same as Zeus or Jupiter. Religious wars came withe the exclusive religions who claimed their god was supreme - Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and were prepared to fight and kill in his name - Jehovah/Allah.
