3 (Battle of Tours and More)

The Battle of Tours occurred in 732 in Tours, France, between the Frankish and the Islamic army. The outcome was the Franks defeated Islam, however that is not all that resulted from this war. This battle was so historically significant because in this battle paused Islamic migration from the Iberian Peninsula was paused; almost stopped. This lowered Islamic conquests, while simultaneously preserving and growing Christianity. During the battle, thousands of Muslims died, which contributed to the downfall of Muslims in Europe, and led to the majority being Christianity. Christians were favored in Europe at the time, and they did not want Islamic influence. I think the reason being for that is the fact that Christianity was sprouting, advancing, and developing and they did not want a swarm of a different religion to interrupt them. Converting people and enhancing a religion is important, and when you interact with a group with different beliefs and values, you are more prone to getting out of hand and becoming less organized.  After reading about the Battle of Tours, it was another example of what we have been learning. What I mean by that is 1. There is usually always a religion that is favored in a certain area that conflicts or does not want other religions /the idea of majority vs. minority
2. There is repeatedly that conquering/invading/falling/rising cycle.
Furthermore, in the Battle of Tours, Islam was having a fall in Europe, however Christians were rising up.

Throughout history we have seen that there will always be a majority and minority, and that quickly after one event occurs or something collapses, you can be sure another thing will take place.
