Orientalism was used back in the 19th century to imitate or depict others nations and their cultures. The Europeans would take impressive feats of architecture or objects from other nations to create their own “better” version. They used orientalism to show how other nations were barbaric and that they were vastly more intelligent. These tactics can be seen in many paintings and buildings where they tried to improve upon other nations works. In some of theses paintings you can see upperclassmen wearing

Later, the British make a curtain call with their role in the Battle of Jaffa in the 1948 War for Israeli Independence, and their final withdrawal from the Mandate of Palestine in 1976.

By the end of the Second Crusade, Christian Crusaders had accomplished absolutely nothing and had, in fact, lost a significant amount of territory in the Middle East. Additionally, as Christian unity weakened, Saladin, a Muslim military commander had risen to power and had taken over the majority of Christian territory. The most significant event he ever took part in was the Battle of Hattin. After a Reynald of Chatillion attacked a large Muslim caravan, Saladin declared war on the Christians. Because

The work that I do is a product of my own history; it often revolves around the question of belongingness and home. Throughout my life I have lived in 16 homes, 10 cities/villages, 4 countries and 3 continents. The constant change, the constant need to adapt to new surroundings, new cultures made me question the notion of home and how that affects our identities. To explore this questions I make collages, I cut and paste, much like what I had to do every time I moved. In my work “My Galaxy” (2010)
The Crusades were an event that happened over a thousand years ago, and they shaped most all of Europe. There were tens of thousands of deaths, much destruction, and many resources used on all sides of the war. Even though the war did not have to be started in the first place, after Pope Urban II gave a speech in November of 1095 the two sides could never come to a compromise without violence.

Europe were led by Richard the Lion-hearted of England, Philip II of France, and the Holy Roman emperor Frederick Barbarossa, Europe’s greatest warrior. Saladin defeated the Crusades at the battle of Hattin in 1187. Christian control of the city of Jaffa returned and the third crusade ended on a peace treaty between Saladin and Richard the Lion Heart.
