Christians mostly killed Muslims and Jews during the Crusades. The whole thing was wrong- it was a slaughter.
When the Christians came; they would kill the Muslims.
During the Crusades, some Western European Christians targeted Eastern European Christians, particularly during the Fourth Crusade, due to a combination of religious zeal and political motives. The schism between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church fueled animosity, leading Western crusaders to view Eastern Christians as heretics. Additionally, the desire for wealth, power, and territorial expansion often overshadowed the original religious goals of the Crusades, resulting in violence against fellow Christians. This tragic aspect highlights the complexities and contradictions within the Crusading movement.
Estimates of the number of people killed during the Crusades vary widely, with some historians suggesting that hundreds of thousands died, while others propose lower figures. The violence was not limited to battles between Christians and Muslims; it also included massacres of Jewish communities and conflicts between different Christian factions. Overall, the Crusades spanned several centuries and involved numerous campaigns, making it difficult to determine an exact number. Nonetheless, the impact was significant, with widespread loss of life and suffering on all sides.
why the christians joined to fight in the crusades was because the pope brain washed them to join and if they did not want to join, they were forced. on their jouney, they would bag and loot places in other words, they would steal things they wanted and needed, then, they would kill people and win their land. ================= In the 8th Century, Muslims took control of Jeruselem. In many ways, this was an opressive act toward the Christians, as the ability to practice their faith was interfered with. All to much attention is pointed toward the Pope and some fanatics. However, the Crusades were fundamentally a reaction to Muslim oppression.

The Crusades. There were many Crusades, but the main aim was to rid the Holy Land of Turks, who the Emperor of Constantinople did not like. The Pope was looking for a reason to create a super-power, and then the Emperor sent him a letter complaining about the Turks, so the Pope decided to take advantage of the opportunity. So many people decided to go because the Pope promised that if they went, they would definitely have a place in Heaven. He said that it is not a crime to kill people, if they are not fellow Christians. This is why many people went, and gave up jobs.
