Pan-Christianity
Medieval Christian nationalist movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Middle Ages, efforts were made in order to establish a single Christian state of Pan-Christianity by uniting the countries within Christendom.[1][2] Christian nationalism may have played a role in this era in which Christians felt the impulse to recover lands in which Christianity flourished.[3] Muslims militarily invaded parts of North Africa, East Asia, Southern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East, as well as parts of Europe.[4] In response, Christians across national borders mobilized militarily and a "wave of Christian reconquest achieved the recovery of Spain, Portugal, and southern Italy, but was unable to recover North Africa nor—from a Christian point of view, most painful of all—the Holy Land of Christendom."[4]
