Trade and War
spread of middle eastern culture and technology to Europe.
the Crusades benefited Europe in a number of ways. For one thing, the exchange that occurred during the Crusades facilitated the spread of Islamic math and science. This exposed Europeans to improvements in navigation techniques. These advancements, in turn, helped to usher in Europe's Age of Exploration and led to nearly five centuries of European cultural and economic dominance.
Even though Muslims did conquer Spain, the reason that Muslim culture spread to Europe was because Islam, was in a very good location for trade. They were surrounded by many bodies of water (for boats to come in and trade). They were also surrounded by three continents (for people to come in and trade by foot or caravan). People from Europe came in to trade and encountered many Muslims. These European traders came in touch with many things that Muslims did as part of their culture. They then decided on their own to convert. These caused the spread of Muslim culture to Europe!

During the Crusades, land was being fought over and won by Europe. With these territorial conquests, the Europeans won many parts of different lands. Such land gave them Muslim contact, allowing new ideas and cultures to spread; cultural diffusion. This increased Europe's trading ways with the Middle East and also, indirectly, weakening the feudal system. Your Welcome :)
Sort of, but ultimately not really. Empires invade other lands and spread influence; its what they do. Muslim incursion into Spain certainly didn't help European views of the middle east, but the crusades would probably have happened anyway even if there were no incursions into Europe.
It was brought back by men who had been in the crusades. Cross cultural learning happens when people go to places and learn new ideas, foods, and inventions. The end result was the ideas that pushed Europe into the Neoplatonic movement .

The Umayyad Caliphate. However, it did not spread throughout Europe. It only included about half of the Iberian Peninsula, the only area of Europe it reached.
