The Crusades were a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. They were primarily motivated by the desire to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control. The Crusades were fought by Christian armies against Muslim forces in the Middle East.
During the Crusades, Christians and Muslims viewed each other as infidels because they practiced different religions. The term "infidel" was used to describe someone who did not adhere to one's own religious beliefs. This labeling helped dehumanize the enemy and justify the violence and aggression of the Crusades.

People were persuaded to go to the Crusades through the use of religion and rewards in the after-life. It was believed that a warrior in the Crusades would be greatly rewarded in his afterlife. Participation in the Crusades became a badge of honor.
