Want this question answered?
the crusaders were fighting muslims to capture the holy land of Jerusalem.
The crusaders were Catholic, mainly fighting Muslims.
The Crusades were the battle and a battle does not fight, soldiers in the battle fight. If your question was asking what the Crusaders were fighting for and who they were fighting against see the below link.
The armies that the Crusaders were fighting were mostly compromised of either Muslims or Christians. They were claiming to be fighting for religion.
I think yes. The reason why they named them Crusades is because the Crusaders cut out red crosses and sewed them on their clothes as a sign that they were fighting for Christ. The french for cross is 'croix' and soon the crusaders talked of going on the 'croisades'.
The primary religious purpose of the Crusades was to reclaim Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control. The Crusaders believed they were fighting in the name of Christianity and to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to these holy sites.
The Crusades did have some benefits... crusaders found riches and brought lots of building ideas. From a Crusader's point of view, they were very beneficial because they were fighting for their religion and they thought it was their divine purpose of life.
In which year? Without that critical information, it would be impossible to say which out of over 20 conquests/liberations of Jerusalem you are asking about.
Anna Comnena thought highly of the civilized crusaders fighting for God, but greatly disliked the dirty and wreck-less crusaders. She speaks about their imposing on her empire and being so brutal for no reason. Pretty much she respected the true crusaders, but didn't like the brutal ones going on crusades for money and power.
