Some say that people joined the crusaders as a noble, religious act.
no the europeans did not accomplish what they had hoped
The objects that the crusaders brought back from the crusade(s) were highly needed by the Europeans. This encouraged the trade, and also the use of money.

Saladin led the Muslim armies in their opposition to the Christian Crusaders.
European Crusaders believed that they were doing an important service for the Christian religion. Crusades were officially declared by the Pope, and all loyal Christians felt a religious obligation to serve what they believed to be a holy cause.
Crusaders brought with them the Arabic numeral system (the one most of the people in Europe, America and the Western Hemisphere use today). Before that, Europeans did not even know the "0" number.
They didn't join, they started the transatlantic slave trade...

The first crusade was the most successful one because at that time the Muslims were not united under one strong leader and could not effectively fight against the Europeans, therefore the crusaders managed to capture Jerusalem and a number of other Muslim cities.
The only reasons to expand trade is for money (profit) and power.
Yes The Crusaders
