In the First Crusade, Christian knights that came from Europe went and capture Jerusalem. They had been massacring almost all the city’s Muslim and Jewish population. The reason this happened was because Christians were being persecuted in Jerusalem, because the Holy City was passed from Egyptians to Seljuk. A Pope called for a crusade to help Christians in the east and to recover the holy lands. And then people went over there immediately. A Crusade called “People’s Crusade” had went a far way with killing, to Constantinople, but they were soon killed after that. Then another crusade went in killing a lot more people than “People’s Crusade” ever did. This crusade was led by Raymond of Toulouse, Godfrey of Bouillon, Robert of Flanders, and…

For more than 200 years, two great religions clashed in a fight for the possession of the Holy Land, or Jerusalem. To the Christians, Jerusalem was where Christ was crucified and resurrected. To the Muslims, Jerusalem was the place where their prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven to meet their god, Allah. The series of holy wars that these two religions fought for the possession of the holy land was called the Crusades, and they were one of the bloodiest wars in history. These wars were caused primarily by the desire for political and economic gain, as shown by the desire for personal gain by both the pope and common crusaders, and the Crusaders’ clear violation of Christian teachings on various occasions.…

The Crusades was a series of wars fought from 1096 to 1291, it was a result of growing tension between the Christians and the Muslims, which led to religious upheaval. The Crusades played a critical part in history as it was the Christian's response to Pope Urban II’s speech to reclaim the Holy Land, Jerusalem, in order to regain economical and autocratic power. However, it was the rising tension between the Christians and Muslims that caused the Crusades to escalate and impact the middle east in the way that it did.

The two major purposes of the Crusades were the desire to indicate how Christianity is more superior to another religion and domination of lands. The Crusades were prominently known as the Holy Wars between the Christians and Muslims.

Many people from lower class to higher-class citizens, who strongly believed in Christianity and its interpretation of salvation, were all participated in retrieving the liberation in the Holy Land.

The First Crusade was a military expedition by the Roman Catholic Church from 1096-1099 in order to retake holy lands taken by Muslim conquest of the Levant. The result of the work led to the recapturing of Jerusalem. During the crusade knights and peasants from many parts of Western Europe traveled by land and sea to Constantinople and then to Jerusalem. The peasants outnumbered the knights. Peasants and knights were split into separate armies. However, because the peasants weren't well-trained in combat their army failed to reach Jerusalem. The knights arrived at Jerusalem and launched an assault on the city and captured it in July1099 while killing many of the city's Muslim and Jewish people. They also established the crusader states of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The First Crusade mainly began because of political and social problems in Europe during the 11th century. It seems that Christianity caused the majority of the problem because the papacy wanted to establish a uniform religion throughout Europe, but there were many battles across the land that caused so many problems. As a result the popes who had great political power established these crusades which were fairly well organized. Although Europe was successful in capturing Jerusalem for the first time their rule was short lived. They weren't even able to maintain hold on Jerusalem for more than two centuries. Before this crusade the Byzantine Empire had to fight with the Seljuqs and other Turkish dynasties for control. When the crusaders arrived there had already been conflict wit the area. The pope rulers were too much of extremists. They worried about capturing land for religious purposes before trying to improve their own living conditions before trying to capture even more land. This is something I don't understand with most empires is why the capture more land when they are already in social and…
