The Crusades showcased Iberia fighting against Muslims to claim new land, and religious orders played a significant role in training soldiers for these battles. This impacted European colonization by establishing a belief in the superiority of Christianity and a desire to spread the "true faith" to nonbelievers. Additionally, the Crusades introduced Europeans to new cultures and lands, inspiring exploratory voyages and colonization efforts in the New World. The formation of religious orders also influenced colonization by sending missionaries to Indigenous populations, aiming to convert them to Christianity through charitable means. This reflects the ideology that any other faith should be removed, leading to attempts to dominant and impose European cultures and religions on indigenous peoples during the era of colonization.
