Although pope urban said the christians were fighting to save their brothers,the crusades was mainly about christians taking back their land and power.

Three of the world’s most powerful religions had gone to war during the Crusades, the same war that is responsible for an estimated 1.7 million deaths. The Crusades were a series of Christian military expeditions that lasted through nine Holy Wars. The first crusade, in 1095, was called upon by Pope Urban II in an attempt to stop the Muslim expansion to the Holy City of Jerusalem. Through this, the Christian, Catholic, and Muslim churches will go into a time of warfare as an attempt to both show their religious superiority and have a religious expansion. The western side of Europe was the most significantly impacted by the Crusades because of the 4th Crusade, the foreign influence from the East, and Europe’s economic relations with the world.

Reason 1: This topic helps to identify the various accomplishments done by the crusades. Although the expeditions were not successful, it helped europe as a whole, grow as a country. This can be beneficial to students when they are learning about other aspects of Europe, as the crusades had an impact not only on the Holy Land but on the whole of Medieval Europe. Reason 2: Learning about the crusades makes students understand the quote: ‘’He who fails to learn from history is doomed to repeat it’’.

November 27, 1095 Pope Urban ll called the people of France to help him begin a crusade to free the Holy Land from the Muslims who had the audacity to control it. First Crusade was one of the first attempts to capture the Holy Land which was successful. The First Crusade was a military expedition undertaken by Christian the Holy Land from the Muslims. But the main question is how and why were the Christian Crusaders motivated to fight in the war, was is it to do with political reason such gaining money, power, papacy.

In between the end of the 11th century into the 13th century, Christians from Europe were tended by the church to launch a series of 9 wars known as the crusades. There was mixed effects from the crusades, some good, some bad on the Eastern and Western worlds that were involved in the conflicts. In this paragraph, what will explained is one of the more negative impacts of crusades that has caused some chaos throughout the Western and Eastern worlds. First, document 1 states that the legacy of the crusades was a bitter one because at there was more religious hatred.

At the beginning of the second crusade the Christians and the Muslims lived side by side, but then the Muslims got greedy and said that they needed more power and land. The Muslims took over jerusalem many times, and annoyed people. Many times, such as in the 1st crusade, the Muslims captures the holy land because they got greedy and wanted more land. They took over the holy land many times and they lost it many times because they had to fight. They got greedy so they fought many battles and won so they were undefeatable.

The second crusade was about how European lords worked to secure their rule over the crusader states. Muslim forces regrouped and attacked Edessa, the Teutonic knight, the knights Hospitaller, and the knights Templar joined the second crusade. King Louis VII

Imagine you were a Muslim (Eastern world) living in Jerusalem, and suddenly was ambushed by the Christian Crusaders (Western world), massacring all the Muslims and Jews. Before the crusades, the Christians lived with the Muslims and Jews peacefully. Then, Pope Urban II told the Christians that if they fought to take back Jerusalem, they would automatically be allowed into heaven. The Crusades have left a bad relationship between the Muslims and Christians, and also left disbenefits for them. Muslims and Christians have hated each other for many years because of the Crusades. Although there was many years of worthless fighting, the Christians and Muslims have also benefited from the Crusades.

I believe that this document can help historians better understand the Crusades because it shows how people of different religions have very little tolerance for one another. The point of this war was to show which religion is the most powerful. The Franks used religion, but they all committed a sin. " Thou shall not kill" from the Ten Commandments, yet they killed anyway.

Before the first Crusade, Western Europe had become a place with not much progress, confined from other civilizations and hidden in the Dark Ages that had gone down on Western Christendom after the collapse of the Roman Empire. At the time of the first Crusade, the Middle East and Western Europe were greatly divided. The Crusades contributed to the end of Western Europe’s global isolation by introducing an era in which Western Europe came into direct contact with the large trade routes that united their civilization with Asia.

The Muslim ruler at that time Zangi had attacked and was capture on Christmas Eve 1144.We see that this second crusade was led by European king against Islam. Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany went across Europe separately and were defeated by the Seljuq Turks. What was left of the two armies marched on to Jerusalem and joined the attacked on Damascus. The Europeans crusade was unsuccessful, but a great victory for the Muslims. The Muslims continued to attack and capture land. However like the first Crusade the second crusade left a bloody

This crusade would grant remission of sin to those who undertook the crusade. Harris again remarks on the similarities, “The reaction in the papal curia when news arrived that Constantinople had fallen was much the same as it had been when Jerusalem had been lost to Saladin in 1187” (pg 195 2nd Edition). Pope Urban IV justifies this new crusade by saying that without Constantinople, the way to Jerusalem was blocked and any efforts to retake the Holy Land would fail. This call to crusade is similar to the one that launches the Third Crusade led by Richard Coeur de Lion to retake Jerusalem. However, here these parallels end. Unlike in the Third Crusade, Pope Urban IV's call for crusade fails and no armies are sent forth. At least none that could constitute a strict crusade due to a lack of promised remission of

Effects of the Third Crusade Ayush Soota May 12th 2015 B4 The Third Crusade, also known as the Crusade of the Three Kings, was led by King Richard the Lionheart of England, Holy Roman Emperor Barbarossa of Germany and King Philip II of France. The Third Crusade was born out of a catastrophe for Christendom. This crusade was to prevent the Muslim armies from ruling over Jerusalem and to crush the Kurdish emperor Saladin so that he could not take any more land from the Crusaders. The Third crusade was to reclaim the Holy Land from the Muslims. It was also caused because after capturing the Christian held coastal ports and Jerusalem in 1187, Saladin invaded Syria in 1188 and took one Crusader castle after another and captured the city
