The Christian Conquests was a period in history from 1550-1671 where the Christian kingdoms made use of their newfound magical or holy powers to wage war on the Muslims returning large amounts of territory to Christian influence. During this period, several empires also carried out crusades against pagan cultures whose belief systems did not result in any large scale magical abilities. It lasted until 1671, after Muslims accepted magic and began a large scale assault against Christian nations, leading to the Muslim Resurgence .
