It was what we now call the Middle East.
The Crusades had a definite impact upon interest in the orient. Long after the Crusades were over, merchants still used the same pathways (first used by the crusading armies) as trade routes to the orient.

The travels of Marco Polo And The Crusades
Although the crusades didnt accomplish their goal, they sparked intrest in European trade with the Orient.
Two significant events that revived European interest in the Orient during the Middle Ages were the Crusades and the travels of Marco Polo. The Crusades, which began in the late 11th century, brought Europeans into direct contact with the cultures, goods, and knowledge of the Middle East. Meanwhile, Marco Polo's travels in the late 13th century, detailed in his book "The Travels of Marco Polo," introduced Europeans to the wealth and wonders of Asia, particularly China, sparking curiosity and trade interest in the region.
During the Crusades, the most inexpensive way to ship products from the Orient was primarily through maritime trade routes. Merchant ships would transport goods like silk, spices, and precious metals via the Mediterranean Sea, leveraging established ports and trade networks. Additionally, overland routes, such as the Silk Road, were utilized, although these were often more costly due to the need for protection against bandits and the inclusion of multiple intermediaries. The use of local markets and barter systems also helped minimize shipping costs.

No..the crusades were intended to capture Jerusalem for Christianity and to oust the Moslems from there. The Jews suffered terribly during the crusades.
