Battle of Tours- 732

Today, I interviewed Charles Martel.

Q: What made you go to war?
A: At the same time us, the Franks, were spreading Christianity across Europe, Islam was spreading from the Mediterranean. We were scared that they had already overrun some of the countries we had already spread to, so we had no choice but to fight them.

Q: What happened?
A: We met them in a city in France called Tours. We triumphed over them and stopped them from spreading Islam anywhere else in Europe, although they still were in some places in Spain. This gave us a sign that God was on our side.
