Christians benefited the least out of the crusades. Millions of people died, and the "holy land" was still in Muslim control at the end.
''For the time being, the crusaders had won. They set up Crusader ''states'' in the areas surrounding Jerusalem. But the Muslims were determined to regain their holy places. In 1187, a Muslim ruler and a general names Saladin launched a successfully attack on the Crusader states and recaptured Jerusalem. European kings quickly sent out a Second Crusade, the a Third until finally after the Fourth Crusade fails signed an agreement with Muslim rulers to abandon any further crusades against Jerusalem.''
It wasn't a country so much as a city; the Crusaders wanted to take over Palestine (Jerusalem) which was- and still remains- one of the largest holy centers in the world. At the time of the first Crusade, Palestine was in Muslim control, and, actually, the main reason for the Crusades was to recapture the holy land from the Islam religion.
In 1095, Pope Urban II, Rome's Pope, organised a crusade to conquer Jerusalem. There was 30000-35000 crusades+ calvary ready to advance against the Muslims who were still conquerors of Jerusalem. In 1099, the Crusades has reached Jerusalem and conquered the Muslims with their famous big red cross sign.

Two main religious groups involved in the Crusades were Christians and Muslims. Christians sought to reclaim the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem, which was under Muslim control. The Muslims, on the other hand, defended their territories and religious beliefs against Christian invaders.

The Temple of God in Jerusalem, Israel, is located on the Temple Mount in the Old City. It is a significant religious site for both Jewish and Muslim communities.
The Crusades brought about widespread death, destruction, and displacement among the Muslim communities in the Middle East. They also fueled animosity and distrust between Muslims and Christians that still reverberates in some regions today. Additionally, the Crusades led to the rise of Muslim military leaders and resistance movements to defend against the invading European forces.
