The social effects of the Crusades upon the social life of the Western nations were marked & important. The Crusades afforded an opportunity for romantic adventure. The Crusades were therefore one of the principal fostering influences of chivalry. Contact with the culture of the East provided a general refining influence.
Effects of the Crusades on CommerceOne of the most important effects of the crusades was on commerce. They created a constant demand for the transportation of men and supplies, encouraged ship-building, and extended the market for eastern wares in Europe. Effects of the Crusades on FeudalismThe crusades could not fail to affect in many ways the life of western Europe. For instance, they helped to undermine feudalism. Private warfare, which was rife during the Middle Ages, also tended to die out with the departure for the Holy Land of so many turbulent feudal lords. Their decline in both numbers and influence, and the corresponding growth of the royal authority, may best be traced in the changes that came about in France, the original home of the crusading movement.
Western Europe is more advanced than Eastern Europe. Western Europeans earn larger wages, have a better life expectancy and standard of living, and are more technologically advanced. This is why many Eastern Europeans either migrate or just travel to Europe, for a better life or to see their Western counterparts and experience that life for a while.
