The goal was to recapture the Holy Land (Palestine) from the Seldjuk Turks. The Turks had defeated the Byzantines in 1071, and took Jerusalem. They persecuted the Chistians. So, the Crusades were military expeditions fought by the Europeans to win back the Holy Land. The First Crusade was called by the Pope (Urban II). The Crusades successfully captured Jerusalem in 1099 and massacred its inhabitants.
The crusades happened during medieval times. The Pope of the time (Urban II) called on all Christians to fight a war against the Turks and were promised immediate remission of their sins upon death. The official reason for the first crusade is that the Pope wanted to help the Byzantine Emperor defend his Kingdom against invading Turks. Though it is argued that the Pope had the hidden agenda of taking back the "Holy land" from the Muslims.
The crusades were vicious fighters who fought for Jerusalem and fought and fought and stuff and jiggly puff and i won
because the Turkish took over the holy lands and the Roman Catholic Church fought to regain it back
They brought back knowledge that had been lost before the crusades

The crusades were a series of military expeditions launched by Christians living in Europe with the ultimate goal of conquering the Holy Land. The first crusade was launched in 1095 and was a complete success, conquering the entirety of modern day Israel, Palestine, and Lebanon. The Arabs living in the Middle East launched their own military operations in retaliation and eventually reconquered the lost territory. The eight subsequent crusades were organized with the goal of regaining the territory lost after the First Crusade. The ninth and final crusade was launched in 1271. The end of the crusades also coincided with a series of wars fought against the Ottoman Turks as they expanded into Europe. European and Christian leaders routinely called for crusades after 1271 in order to turn back the Ottoman advance. Several other crusades were launched in Europe in order to reconquer Spain or defeat pagans in Northern Europe.
