Best Answer

Arabs never ruled Palestine as a separate country or as an individual province, but what is considered "Mandatory Palestine" was under the control of Arab Empires from 636 CE when it was conquered by Rightly-Guided Caliph Omar to 1073 CE when the Seljuk Turkish Empire conquered it. It would also pass to the Crusaders and the Kurdish Ayyubids for a century or two. Since the Turks, Kurds, and Crusaders are not Arabs, their 800+ years of control over Palestine should not be counted. As a result, Palestine was in Arab hands for 437 years. If you add the modern Jordanian and Egyptian occupations of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to this count as well as the legal tenure of the Palestinian Authority, that is another 38 years (18+20) of Arab rule over Palestine, making for a total of 475 years.

The purpose of the crusades was to?

The Turks took over Palestine from the Arabs. It became unsafe for Christian Pilgrims to visit The Holy Sites listed in The Bible. The First Crusade had the purpose of capturing Palestine for Christians so that Christian Pilgrims would be safe. After 100 years, Saladin conquered Palestine. The Second Crusade failed to reconquer Palestine. The leaders of the third and fourth Crusades discovered they did not have the forces to recapture Palestine and turned to piracy. Like so many movements that start for noble purposes, the Crusades ended in corruption.
