What role did the Seljuk Turks play in beginning the Crusades?
The Seljuk Turks played a crucial role in the onset of the Crusades by expanding their territory into the Byzantine Empire and threatening Christian lands in the Holy Land. Their victory at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 weakened Byzantine power, prompting Emperor Alexios I to seek military assistance from Western Europe. This appeal ultimately led to Pope Urban II's call for the First Crusade in 1095, as he aimed to reclaim Jerusalem and support the Byzantine Empire against the Turks. The Seljuk Turks' advances thus catalyzed a religious and military response from Christendom.
