Spanish Crusade of 1751 (1751)

The Spanish Crusade of 1751 was a conflict between the Spanish Empire and the Sons of Allah, as well as various assorted pockets of Islamic resistance in the Holy Lands, over control of the Holy Lands, with the Spanish attempting to reclaim them for the Christian faith, under orders to convert (or remove, if necessary) all resisting members of the Islamic faith within the territory acquired by the Spanish Empire as part of the Treaty of Istanbul, which delegated control of Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria to Spain. (Ended July 8th, 1751)
