What was the purpose for travelling of the crusaders during the dark ages?
Nothing Ignore the above While today it may seem like it was 'nothing' during MEDIEVAL times people went on Crusades as a pilgrimage. Religion was a very important part of life for these people and Jerusalem was the centre of Christianity. The Holy Land was a honey pot for Christians. Pilgrimages were made as penence (punishment) or simply to please God. When war broke out between Christians and Muslims over the rights to the Holy Land people went on Crusade to drive the Muslims out because they believed that Jerusalem was theirs. They lacked the understanding of other religions that people hold today and so they would not accept it.
Why did the second crusade happen?
In the year 1146, the city of Edessa, the bulwark of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem on the side towards Mesopotamia, was taken by the Turks, and the entire population was slaughtered, or sold into slavery. This disaster threw the entire West into a state of the greatest alarm, lest the little Christian state, established at such cost of tears and suffering, should be completely overwhelmed, and all the holy places should again fall into the hands of the infidels. The apostle of the Second Crusade was the great abbot of Clairvaux, St. Bernard. Scenes of the wildest enthusiasm marked his preaching. The scenes that marked the opening of the First Crusade were now repeated in all the countries of the West. St. Bernard, an eloquent monk, was the second Peter the Hermit, who went everywhere, arousing the warriors of the Cross to the defence of the birthplace of their religion. When the churches were not large enough to hold the crowds which flocked to hear him, he spoke from platforms erected in the fields. The contagion of the holy enthusiasm seized not only barons, knights, and the common people, which classes alone participated in the First Crusade, but kings and emperors were now infected with the sacred frenzy. St. Bernard's eloquence induced two monarchs, Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, to take the blood-red cross of a crusader. Conrad III., emperor of Germany, was persuaded to leave the affairs of his distracted empire in the hands of God, and consecrate himself to the defence of the sepulchre of Christ. Louis VII., king of France, was led to undertake the crusade through remorse for an act of great cruelty that he had perpetrated upon some of his revolted subjects. The Second Crusade, though begun under the most favorable auspices, had an unhappy ending. Of the great host that set out from Europe, only a few thousands escaped annihilation in Asia Minor at the hands of the Turks. Louis and Conrad, with the remnants of their armies, made a joint attack on Damascus, but had to raise the siege after a few days. This closed the crusade. As a chronicler of the expedition remarked, "having practically accomplished nothing, the inglorious ones returned home." The strength of both the French and the German division of the expedition was wasted in Asia Minor, and the crusade accomplished nothing.

Where is holy land located in middle ages?
The Holy Land generally refers to the geographical region of the Levant called Land of Canaan or Land of Israel in the Bible, and constitutes the Promised land. This area, or sites within it, hold significant religious importance to at least four monotheistic Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Bahá'í Faith. Part of its sanctity stems from the religious significance of Jerusalem, the holiest city to Judaism, the third-holiest to Islam, and part of the proposed Christian Pentarchy.

Is a conflict between two countries over land and religion is called a crusade?
No. The term 'Crusade' is only used in two senses: the wars fought in Palestine in the early Middle Ages to 'liberate' the city of Jerusalem from Islam; and in general, to describe a fanatical and often religiously motivated drive or protest against people, convictions, institutions, or sometimes other nations that hold convictions or have habits that you are vehemently opposed to. So you can have a local or nationwide 'crusade' against abortion or abortion clinics, same-sex , arranged or underage marriages, or against the drinking of hard liquor or the smoking of cigarettes.

Jerusalem has a lot of people living there. The city is the center of more than just a few religions. Destroying the city would draw immediate tension between all religions which hold Jerusalem dear and the origin of the destruction.
