==Examples of religious wars==
A notable example of a religious war, or more exactly a series of wars, is the [[Crusades]] of medieval Europe, started by [[Christians]] to take back [[Israel]] from Muslim control.
Not all examples are negative. [[Constantine]]'s civil war with [[Licinius]] was fought over Licinius' persecution of Christians. The war ended with Constantine's victory and the persecutions stopped. A [[Byzantine]] victory against Varahran V of the Neo-Persian Empire forced him to end his policy of persecution against Christians as well.
