Why do Palestinians want Jerusalem?
It is a territorial dispute mostly. There are different factions that believe Jerusalem should "belong" to them, or politically be under their control, because of their history there, both secular and religious. For many of those groups, Jerusalem is a sacred place in their religion. For example, Jerusalem is the 3500 year old spiritual and national center of the Jewish people, where important early Jewish Temples stood, and the religion developed. It is also considered holy land in the Islamic and Christian religions. The land began being called Palestine by the Romans after the destruction of the second Jewish Temple of Jerusalem. There are those, who because of that, believe that the first Palestinians were the Jews, and the land should still be theirs to govern. After that, the early Christian Religion was also centered there, and more and more Christians made pilgrimages to the Holy Land, eventually added to the settlements there, and hold a strong connection with the area, as well. The Islamic religion is just as closely tied to the area as are the Jewish and Christian religions. Political changes were made in the governments in the area after the World Wars that are still disputed and peace talks have, so far, created no agreement or compromise to settle the territorial dispute. As the area grows in population, land becomes more precious in the Holy area, and competition for the resources and land continues to plague the area with fighting and wars.

The region of western Europe called holy roman empire was also called?
The Holy Roman Empire was also called Germany. Strictly speaking the two were not identical, as medieval people used the name Germany to mean places where German was spoken; some of these were not in the Holy Roman Empire and some parts of the Holy Roman Empire were not German speaking.
Why did saladin re-take Jerusalem?
----------------------- Jerusalem was holy to Muslims, as well as to Christians and Jews, so to give up Jerusalem would have meant denying Muslims the opportunity to perform pilgrimages to Jerusalem, since Christian rulers never accepted Muslim rights. Contrary to modern opinion, the Arabic empire was not at that time entirely Muslim, but included a very substantial proportion of Christians and Jews, although the ruling classes were Muslim. Generally, Christians and Jews were permitted to visit Jerusalem without hindrance. To have given up Jerusalem would also have provided the crusading armies a well fortified base from which to attack the Arab empire. Even the cities that remained in Christian hands provided bases for attacks until the Christian armies were finally driven from the Holy Land, but Jerusalem was more easily defended, and would extend the reach of the Christian armies right into the heart of the Arabian empire.
Where did the Crusaders come from?
Information about The Crusades The Crusades: A series of Holy wars between the Europeans and the Muslims Why?: To gain control of the Holy Land. The Seljuk Turks took over the Holy Land and killed any Christian pilgrim that tried to pray in Jerusalem. The Europeans also wanted control of the trade routes. Outcomes: Many people on both sides died and the Europeans failed to gain the Holy Land. But the Turks from now on let the pilgrims pass without a problem with respect for their king. The Crusaders brought back goods (silk, rugs, jewels, food, and ideas) from the Middle East and they became popular in Europe. Merchants became richer and moved out of manors to start their own towns and cities. Peasants bought their freedom (some) and Feudalism grew much weaker.

What are four reason people went on crusades?

Four Reasons people went on crusades: • Christians couldn't make safe pilgrimages to Jerusalem (The Holy Land) • Seljuk Turks were taking over too much land around Jerusalem • Muslims were making it hard for Christians to get to Jerusalem • Christians wanted to be able to go to the Holy Land because it was a great religious site for them (it was also a great religious site for Muslims and Jews, for all different reasons)

The Christians didn't like this and were told by the pope too go and fight, if Christians fought their sins would be immediately forgiven and if they died the would go straight to heaven and they would also protect their land and people and receive land so the holy war began this was called a crusade.
