Swedish Crusade, Second

Years: 1249 - 1250

The Second Swedish Crusade is a semi-historical Swedish military expedition to Finland by Birger jarl in the 13th century.

As a result of the crusade, Finland becomes permanently part of Sweden for the next 550 years.

"History should be taught as the rise of civilization, and not as the history of this nation or that. It should be taught from the point of view of mankind as a whole, and not with undue emphasis on one's own country. Children should learn that every country has committed crimes and that most crimes were blunders. They should learn how mass hysteria can drive a whole nation into folly and into persecution of the few who are not swept away by the prevailing madness."

—Bertrand Russell, On Education (1926)
