What were the goals of the first crusade?

There were three main goals of the First Crusade. They were to capture the Christian holy land, Jerusalem, and to take Jerusalem for the Catholic Church. Jerusalem was a long sought-after city for all the Abrahamic religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) because it is noted in the holy writings of all three religions that it is a prominent city. It is said in the Bible of the Christians that Jesus was taken there, put on trial and crucified. In Islam, it is where where Muhammad rose into Heaven. It was important to the Jews because it was where Abraham was directed to sacrifice his son Isaac at God’s direction.


What is one difference between the West coast and the East coast of the United States?

The primary difference is the timezone. There is a three hour difference between the two coasts (the East is three hours ahead). Historically, the cities in the East coast grew in size earlier than the West, so there are numerous differences in how they are arranged and how tightly packed they are. The two coasts also have distinctly different climates.
