What were the Crusades?
The Crusades were a series of religious wars launched by Christian Europe against Muslim forces that occupied the Holy Land of Jerusalem. The Crusades were initiated in 1095 by Pope Urban II, who urged Christian knights and soldiers to undertake a journey to the Holy Land to recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims. The Crusades continued for several centuries, involving various European armies and Muslim rulers. The Crusades were inspired by religious zeal, economic expansion, and political power, and they had a deep impact on the history of Europe and the Middle East, contributing to increased trade, religious tensions, and cultural exchanges.
