One significant effect of the Crusades on Western Europe was the increase in trade and economic interaction with the East. The Crusades opened up new routes for commerce and led to the introduction of exotic goods, such as spices and textiles, into European markets. This increased trade contributed to the growth of wealthy merchant classes and the rise of towns, ultimately laying the groundwork for the economic transformations of the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Additionally, the Crusades fostered a sense of shared identity among Christians in Europe.
Tensions and hostility between Muslims and Christians are still present across the globe today. This is a lasting effect of the crusades.
Trade between Europe and the East increased.
