A holy war by western Christians to re-capture the holy city of Jerusalem.
The Crusades, which lasted from 1095 to the late 1500's, were holy wars between Christians in the West and Muslims in the Middle East, in which both sides sought to capture Jerusalem, or the Holy Ground. In 1099 the Christians were able to capture Jerusalem, and afterward there were continual holy wars in which the Muslims attempted to recapture the land while the Christians defended it.

Christians do not pray to anything that faces Jerusalem.
Jerusalem has some significance for Christians as that is where Jesus was crucified but really it is just a city there is nothing holy or important about Jerusalem for Christians. There is nothing important about going there.
The Crusades were a series of holy wars fought between Christians and Muslims for control of Jerusalem and the Holy Land during the Middle Ages. The First Crusade was launched in 1096 and resulted in the capture of Jerusalem by Christian forces in 1099. Subsequent Crusades followed over the span of two centuries.
Jerusalem
No one really 'told' the CATHOLICS to re- capture Jerusalum they were given the choice to attend the crusades. I anybody incouraged them, it would be Pope Urban the 2nd, in a speech he declared a few months before they began.
At least 40,000 military and civilian died during the capture of Jerusalem. I'm just kidding.
