The Crusades Dbq

The Crusades were an unpleasant event that happened for many reasons. It was established in 1096 and thankfully ended in 1291. The cause for why the Crusades had a more negative result is because most people died from participating or majorly hurt. This is because Document 6 states “The city was savagely taken with many lives lost” meaning that people had died. So, the continued fighting that took place because of the Crusades had a huge negative impact on the many people that lost their lives. In addition, Document 1 states “In Europe, crusaders sometimes turned their fury against Jews, massacring entire communities.” Which meant that full families including children were slaughtered, killed and destroyed because the crusaders were mad at

The Crusades were an important part in European society and history. The Crusades were a series of wars between Christians and Muslims in Southwest Asia. The purpose of the Crusades was to secure control of the Holy Land, which was considered sacred by both Christians and Muslims. The Crusades were filled with violent and often ruthless conflicts between Christians and Muslims. The Crusades contained several expeditions and impacted European society in several ways.

Because of the response the people had to Pope Urban II call to arms a wave of religious enthusiasm swept across Europe. In 1096 Peter the hermit created an army of peasants and soldiers. They traveled to Constantinople, this movement was called the peoples crusade. The outcome of the people’s crusade was tragic because almost all of them died.

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

The Crusades occurred in the Holy Land during the 11th and 13th century and was sanctioned by Pope Urban ll to free the Holy Land in Jerusalem. It significantly brought tremendous change to the Church's wealth and influence, the Church's practices and teachings and Catholic's daily lives.  The Crusades largely involved men and some women from every country in Europe and brought both negative and some positive results to Europe.

The Third Crusade took place from 1189-1192. The First Crusade was the Byzantines effort to re-establish the territory they lost to the Seljuk Turks. After three years of fighting, the Christians defeated the enemy. Then, in the year 1147 the Second Crusade began when Muslim forces began attacking the Christians. The Christians were defeated, leading to the Third Crusade. The Third Crusade was King Richard’s attempt to recover the Holy Land from the great Muslim leader Saladin. Saladin was a ruthless military leader, but was seen as generous and humane by his followers. He was very powerful, and had made many significant accomplishments for his military. In 1187, Saladin prepared to ambush the city of Jerusalem and seize it from the

The Crusades occurred during the 11th and 13th centuries and were sanctioned by Pope Urban ll. They made significant changes to the Church's wealth and influence, the Church's practices and teachings and Catholic's daily lives (Melissa Snell, 2015). The Crusades largely involved men and few women from every country in Europe and brought both negative and positive results to Europe (Paine. M, 2005).

Although the Crusades began from religious purposes, they also lead to the moderation of Europe. During the Crusades the people built on a part of land that is now known as Europe. The start of the Crusades was because the armies of Christians wanted to go to war against Muslim forces to get the power of the Holy Land. They wanted to get back the power of the Holy Land so they would become “Soldiers of Christ” said Pope Urban II. During this time they also were starting to have problems with the church, because very many of the churches people thought that they were learning the wrong ways of the church. In the period of the 13th century they had very many things going on leading to the Crusades and religious purposes.

The Crusades were vital in launching Europe out of the dreary Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. The Crusades jumpstarted development in Europe by introducing new/old ideas and thrusting it into the affairs of the Muslim World. Originally, the Crusades were launched to recapture the holy land for Christianity. The later Crusades were launched with other, more dubious, goals in mind but despite never recapturing the holy land, the crusades were extremely successful. The crusades incited a tremendous exchange of ideas from the Muslim world to Europe. These ideas proved to be significant in delivering Europe into the Renaissance, which was a period of immense intellectual growth. In turn, the Renaissance helped advance Europe into the powerhouse

The Muslims and Crusaders only lost lives, which was tragic and unfortunate, but they didn’t lose anywhere near enough lives for it to have a substantial or lasting impact. On the other hand, Jews losing their place in society was something that continued to affect them for decades to follow with the rise of anti-semitism during the Crusades sparked a long-lasting hatred of Jews. And while the Jews didn’t gain anything from the Crusades, the Muslims and Christians gained culturally. The Crusades lead to the expansion of trade, which lead to Christians being exposed to foreign goods, foods, and ideas. Crusaders encountered exotic food items like coffee, sugar, rhubarb, rice, sherbet, and fruits such as apricots, dates, lemons and melons for the first time (Lougheed). They also adopted irrigation techniques, the use of painkillers, algebra, chemistry, arabic numerals, and the game of chess from the Muslims (Lougheed). Muslims gained from the Crusades as well. They got exposure to new weapons and military tactics (Lougheed). To conclude, the negative consequences of the Crusades on Christians and Muslims weren’t long-term or very significant, which they were for the Jews, and the Crusades were even an advantage to them with the expansion of trade leading to the exposure to new goods and ideas, while Jews didn’t gain

The Crusades were a series of religious wars between the Christians of present day Europe and the Seljuq Turks and Arabs, who were all Muslim. These wars began in the late eleventh century and continued until the end of the thirteenth century. Around the year 1095, the Byzantine Emperor, Alexios I Komnenos, asked the pope for aid against the Muslims, who had taken much of Asia Minor in their conquests for land. Urban II, who was the pope at the time, gave a very famous speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095 encouraging all Christians to go to the East and retake their Holy Land of Palestine from the Muslims. This gave birth to the First Crusade. We have no records of any documents or decrees from the council, but there are five versions

The crusades lead a substantial role in changes in Political Europe. It caused empires to fall, and imbalances in power which lead to bigger problems and more crusades. During the eleventh century, the Catholic church went through a series of changes and wanted more power over the government. Before the first crusade, there was already a power struggle between religions- Christianity and Islam. Jerusalem had been controlled by Muslims for 450 years. The crusades led a fight that would determine where the land would end up. The pope wanted the authority of being able to forgive sins and wage wars. The number of Muslims began to decrease when the

The Crusades were a series of Holy Wars launched by the Christian states of Europe against the Saracens and the rescuing of holy places of Palestine from the hands of the Mohammedans. (Alchin 1) There were eight Crusades in number; the first four were sometimes called the Principal Crusades, and the remaining four were the called the Minor Crusades. (Alchin 1) The Principal Crusades, however, were considered to be the most important. (Alchin 1) The Principal Crusades started because of key people or key events, which led to affect history.

The pope was very mad about what had happened, but he could do nothing about it. The Crusaders did not continue the Crusade to the mideast. The Byzantine Empire was further weakened because of the fourth Crusade. The Crusades affect Europe in good and bad
