Why fight the crusades?

I totally agree with the question but there is a reason; the first Crusades were called for by Pope Urban II, it was a declared Holy War. The main reason he called for them was to recapture the holy land Jerusalem (Palestine at the time) from Muslim control. Of course there were other factors involved but that's the main reason.

What was the main 2 reason for the crusades?

The 2 Reasons why the crusades started:The first reason that the crusades started was that the Christians wanted to regain power over Jerusalem because the Turks wasn't allowing Christians to enter the city; and because Jerusalem was the Holy City to Christians, Muslims and Jews there was a lot of conflict between the three Religions. The second reason that the crusades started was that the Christians wanted people to change religions (EXAMPLE: Christians wanted Muslims to turn to Christians)so that that the Pope (the leader of the Christians churches) could basically gain power/ control.I hope this has helped you with this question.
