Believe it or not, carousels were invented for the ancient knights to practice the art of war. During the 1100 Crusades, European soldiers watched Turkish and Arab knights competing in a game that involved riding a horse while holding a spear to throw at a ring that hung from a tree branch. Participants took the game so seriously that European soldiers began to refer to it as a "small war," which when translated into Italian became "garosello" or "carosella". Upon returning to Europe, the Crusaders brought the game back with them.
