Best Answer

In the beginning (the first Crusades) Christianity was the entire reason for the Crusades. They were called for by Pope Urban II (the lead "Christian" at the time) mainly to recapture the Holy Land Jerusalem (Palestine at the time) from Muslim control. There were other factors too, including wealth and forgiveness of sins.
