In Europe, several groups faced persecution for their beliefs, particularly during the Middle Ages and the Reformation. Notable examples include Jews, who were subjected to expulsions, pogroms, and the Spanish Inquisition. Additionally, Protestants faced severe persecution from Catholic authorities, especially during the Counter-Reformation. Other groups, such as witches and various pagan communities, were also targeted during periods of religious fervor and superstition.
