The term "Sacred War" often refers to conflicts that are framed as religious or spiritual struggles. One notable example is the Sacred War fought in ancient Greece, particularly between the Phocians and the Delphic Amphictyony over control of the Delphi sanctuary. This war was marked by the belief that the conflict was divinely sanctioned, as it involved the protection of sacred sites. Another significant instance is the Great Patriotic War in the context of the Soviet Union, where it was termed a "sacred" struggle against the Nazi invasion during World War II. This framing emphasized the defense of the homeland and the fight against perceived evil, rallying the population around a common cause.
