How many crusades were there in total?
The total number of crusades is a matter of debate among historians, but generally, it is agreed that there were eight official crusades between 1096 and 1270. These were the famous military expeditions launched by European Christians to reclaim the Holy Land from Islamic rule. Additionally, there were several smaller, unofficial crusading campaigns and ongoing conflicts in the region. Despite some successes and temporary gains, the ultimate outcome of the crusades was a failure, as the Holy Land remained under Muslim control.
