Alexandrian Crusade

Years: 1365 - 1366

The brief Alexandrian Crusade, also called the sack of Alexandria,occurs in October 1365 and is led by Peter I of Cyprus against Alexandria.

Relatively devoid of religious impetus, it differs from the more prominent Crusades in that it seems to have been motivated largely by economic interests.

“What experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history."

―Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Lectures (1803)
