Why were there so many crusades?
the first crusade was a success so later kings thought they could direct successful crusades too cause Muslims recaptured Jerusalem after first crusade but all other crusades failed
What is cruseds?
I presume you mean The Crusades. The Crusades were Holy Wars in the 11th to 13th centuries waged by Christians from western Europe to regain the holy city of Jerusalem from the Muslims. The First Crusade succeded, but Jerusalem was subsequently regained by the Muslims, and the later Crusades failed to regain it.
What was the goal of the crusade?
The original purpose of the Crusades was for soldiers and princes from western Europe to fight on the side of the Byzantine emperor against the Seljuq Sultanate of Rum. Later, West European princes set up small kingdoms in Jerusalem, Antioch, Tripoli, and Tyre.
Describe the degeneration of the idealism of the first Crusades into the blatant opportunism of the later Crusades?
Unfortunately, the first Crusades were not really distinguished by any real level of idealism: Pope Urban II knew that a crusade would serve to reunite Christendom, bolster the papacy, and perhaps bring the East under his control.When the first Crusaders took Jerusalem in 1099, they massacred the population regardless of whether they were Muslims, Jews or Christians.The People's Crusade was really part of the First Crusade. The peasant population that formed the basis of People's Crusade had been afflicted by drought, famine, and plague for many years before 1096, and some of them seem to have envisaged the crusade as an escape from these hardships - a practical reason, but hardly idealism.The German Crusade of 1096 is that part of the First Crusade in which peasant crusaders, mostly from Germany, attacked European Jews. Many people wondered why they should travel thousands of miles to fight non-believers when there were already non-believers closer to home. It is also likely that the crusaders were motivated by a need for money. The only evidence here for idealism is among the authorities and religious leaders who attempted to shelter their Jewish subjects. Certainly the later Crusades were at least as opportunistic as the first. More importantly, they achieved little and resulted in the eventual abandonment of the Holy Land by Christian Knights.
What were the crusades of Julius Caesar?
Julius Caesar, who lived in the first century BCE, had nothing to do with the Crusades, which took place over a thousand years later. The word "crusade" comes from the Latin "crux, crucis", a Cross, since the crusaders wore crosses on their uniforms to distinguish themselves as Christians. This clearly has nothing to do with Caesar.
Did the crusades happen during the high middle ages?
The Crusades to the Holy Land all happened during the High Middle Ages. There were later military actions also called Crusades that happened in other places. An example was the Hussite Crusade, which happened in Central Europe during the period of 1420 to 1434.

What do you think was the most important effect of the crusades on the entire civilized world?
In short, Pope Urban II wanted to capture the Holy Land from the Turkish Muslims, and he preached vigourously on it, even going so far as to say joining in the crusades would ensure salvation. Soon many peasants had begun their own unofficial crusade, known as the "Peasants Crusade". The emotionaly unstable mob was slaughtered by the Turkish Muslims very easily. The official crusade is called the "First Crusade" [1096-1099] and it had great European nobles at the front. This crusade captured Asia Minor for the emperor Alexius Comenus, recaptured Jerusalem, and also a strip of land on the Eastern Coast of the Mediterrainean Sea. The "Second Crusade"s [1147-1149] goal was to attack Damascus (which actually was friendly to the Crusaders), but it failed miserably. In 1187, Muslims again took control over Jerusalem, leading to the "Third Crusade" [1189-1192] also known as the "Crusade of Kings". This crusade accomplished very little. The "Fourth Crusade" [1202-1204] didn't even reach the Holy Land, but attacked Constantinople. The "Children's Crusade" [1212] was utterly ridiculous in that the entire group consisted of children that marched toward the Mediterranean, hoping that God would divide the waters for them, instead, were tricked by slave traders, and sold to North African Muslims. The other crusades after this also accomplished nothing. In all, most of the crusades were irrational and unreasonable. What they DID do was open up trade with europe and the orient some years later.
What was the purpose of the series of military expeditions known as the crusades?
Original purpose was to help protect persecuted Orthodox Christians in the middle east from Moslem armies. Ultimate purpose conquer land and acquire wealth. In the later Crusades the crusaders often just indiscriminately slaughtered muslims, christians, soldiers, and civilians.
What statement is not true of both the first crusade launched in 1095 CE and the fourth crusade launched a century later?
