Much happened during the Crusades. After the Muslims had conquered the Holy Land and were on the doorstep of the Byzantine Empire, the Emperor sent a plea for help to the Pope of the Catholic Church. The Pope, Urban II, then, while giving a sermon, called out to all faithful Christians throughout Europe to launch a military campaign to reconquer the lost Holy Land. Thus began the First Crusade, the first of many massive, multinational campaigns against the Turks of the Near East, particularly Palestine. These "holy wars" saw many bloody events, with severe brutality, especially against civilians, coming from both sides. While only somewhat successful militarily for the Europeans, they greatly helped to consolidate the power of the Muslims in the region for centuries. A deep-seated hatred and distrust was also born between white Westerners and Middle Eastern Muslims. However, Europe did benefit greatly culturally, since the learning that had been preserved by the Islamic empire finally made its way to Europe as a result of the contact the wars brought about, greatly helping to end the Dark Ages of Europe. Other, smaller Crusades were also launched against "heathens" in southwestern Europe and against pagans in the North.

The Crusades happened almost a thousand years ago-why do they still provoke an argument? Osama bin Laden has used them to attempt to rally the Islamic world to his cause; President Bush has called the war on terrorism a "crusade." But what is the truth about the Crusades? Were they motivated by savage greed and intolerance or by pious idealism? Were they an unprovoked attack by the West on the Islamic world or a reaction to centuries of Islamic incursions? How should we understand the legacy of the Crusades today, in a time of conflict between the West and radical Islamic terrorists?
