The Crusades began because various rulers in western Europe wanted to make sure Jerusalem and the Holy Land were purely Christian. The various conquests and reconquests between the Christian crusaders and the Muslim forces of Saladin meant they went on for many years.
The main difference between the First Crusade and the Second Crusade is that the Christian forces successfully captured Jerusalem and surrounding lands in the First Crusade and experienced heavy losses in the Second Crusade. Both crusades were formed to reconquer Muslim lands that had been previously Christian and/or Jewish.
The Third Crusade involved several key figures. On the Christian side, the prominent leaders were King Richard I of England (also known as Richard the Lionheart), King Philip II of France, and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. On the Muslim side, the most notable figure was the famous sultan Salah ad-Din (Saladin) who defended Jerusalem against the Christian forces.
Many reasons but mostly Geography and tactical genius from some muslim commanders (Saladin).Because the crusader states were far from Europe and thus hard to defend (like far provinces in the Roman Empire).Don't forget most European forces went back to their homelands of Europe after a Crusade, and often the Muslim forces attacked while most crusaders were away.It was a catch and find game the Muslims finally won due to their strategic advantage.Although they never successfully invaded Europe.

The band of peasants(the Peasants' Crusade) led by Peter the Hermit, was destroyed by Seljuk forces of Kilij Arslan.

The Muslim forces, led by Saladin, retook Jerusalem from the Christian crusaders in 1187 after the Battle of Hattin. This battle was a decisive victory for the Muslims and led to the collapse of the Crusader states in the Holy Land.
The impact of the Crusader occupation of the Holy Land included the establishment of Crusader states, such as the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which brought about cultural exchange and economic development. However, it also led to prolonged conflict with local Muslim forces and contributed to the souring of relations between Christians and Muslims in the region.
If you are referring to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Crusader State, it was established in 1099 as a result of the First Crusade. It was conquered in 1187 by Saladin and the Islamic Forces. If you are referring to the Modern State of Israel (for which Jerusalem is the capital) it was established in 1948 in order to be a Jewish State.
Assuming that this is referring to the First Crusade, the Christian Forces besieged and later conquered the city of Jerusalem. They forced the Muslim Forces to retreat and slaughtered any Muslims, civilian or military, that they found within the city walls.
Richard the Lionheart WAS a crusader. He traveled to the Holy Land after the fall of Jerusalem to Muslim forces commanded by Saladin, who retook the city after the death of King Baldwin II ( the leper King). Although he fought and led the crusade there for several years there to retake the city, the best he could achieve was a truce between Christians and Muslims. The movie "Kingdom of Heaven" with Orlando Bloom is based in part on the battle for Jerusalem in which Saladin's forces retook the city from Christian crusaders after Baldwin's death.
The First Crusade (1096-1099) was successful in capturing Jerusalem and establishing the Crusader States in the Holy Land. The Crusaders were able to defeat the Seljuk Turks and secure control over key territories. This success marked a significant victory for the Christian forces in their campaign to free the Holy Land.
Jerusalem fell to Muslim forces under Saladin.
It had no initial effect. The Fatimids had already lost Jerusalem and its environs to the Seljuks before the Seljuks lost Jerusalem and its environs to the Crusaders. The Crusades, however, strengthened the Muslim forces' loyalty to Saladin and allowed him to form the Ayyubid Sultanate. The Ayyubid Sultanate was able to conquer the Egyptian Fatimids after the fall of the Crusader States.
The Crusades were fought over the control of Jerusalem, which was considered a holy site for Christians, Muslims, and Jews. The city changed hands multiple times between Christian and Muslim forces during the Crusades.
