This term can mean a walled-off section of a city meant to house people of a specific religious, ethnic, or racial group (is in the holocaust) or an impoverished section of a city inhabited mostly by people of a similar religious, ethnic, or racial group.

The term, "ghetto" was originated in Venice. It was used to describe the segregated area that Jewish people were living. they were segregated and had to live in that area, not just by their own choice.

The term was adopted to mean walled-off sections of cities for any minority group.

In WWII, Poland had ghettos that housed Jewish people were set up by the Nazis. and people were not only housed there, but could go come and go freely.

In the U.S., as many immigrant waves went through, the minority immigrants tended to be poor and live in areas that had the same religion, ethnicity, or race as themselves. They used the term ghetto, as well. Today, ghetto is still used to describe areas of town that have mostly poor minority people living there.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
