The Crusades were sponsored and fought by the Catholic Church and the people who went were Christians to take back the “Holy Land.”
The Crusades were a series of religious wars fought between Christians and Muslims over control of holy lands in the Middle East. Both sides believed they had a divine right to these lands, leading to conflicts fueled by religious fervor, political ambition, and territorial expansion. The First Crusade was launched in 1096 by European Christians seeking to reclaim Jerusalem, which was under Muslim rule at the time.
Christians participated in the Crusades primarily to recapture the Holy Land from Muslim control, as it was considered a holy site in Christianity. Additionally, there were political motivations, such as the desire to regain influence in the region and to reclaim lost territories. The Crusades were also seen as an opportunity for knights and nobles to seek glory, wealth, and land.
The Crusades were a series of religious battles between Christians and Muslims to win possession of the holy land of Jerusalem. The Crusades were ultimately won by the Muslims as they managed to take back ownership of the area.
They were Christians so they wanted to get the Holy Land (Jerusalem in Palestine) back from the Muslim people.
The purpose of the Crusades was not only to spread Christianity but also to take back the Holy Land from the Muslims. Catholics thought that the Muslims were desecrating the Holy Land (where Jesus taught) and decided to go and take it back.
The Crusades was won by the Muslims. This is because as their were a total of 7 crusades, 6 were "won" by the Muslims. The first crusade involved christians taking over jerusalem, and killing all other civlians. The next involved Salahudin taking back the Holy Land , and then holding it and defending against 7 more crusades
Christians or the Roman Catholic Europeans because they wanted the "Holy Lands" back from the Muslims but it never belonged to them in the first place
