Despite horrors happening during wars, there were still stories that make us restore our faith in humanity. It is during those times when people receive help and kindness from those that they least expect it from: the enemies.

This battle was considered a Holy War, but it was not just merely between the Muslims and the Christians but more of a power struggle in terms of land and economic control.

There were wars that almost happened, but thankfully did not. Here are some of them:
