Why did many crusaders not make it or became weak going to the holy land?
The simple reason is: the crusaders were disorganised. The fighter who joined the crusades were just normal volunteers - they were not trained fighters. However, most of the crusaders never made it to the Holy land because they died of dieases and sometimes starvation. You have got to remember that the distance they travelled was immense. They had to travel through all varieties of difficult terrain and through poor lands. But when they actually got to the Holy Land, the crusaders were low on morale and shorter in numbers. Their weapons were in quite bad conditions. Overall, they did not stand much of a chance though they were quite successful in some battles.
Where did the Crusaders come from?
Information about The Crusades The Crusades: A series of Holy wars between the Europeans and the Muslims Why?: To gain control of the Holy Land. The Seljuk Turks took over the Holy Land and killed any Christian pilgrim that tried to pray in Jerusalem. The Europeans also wanted control of the trade routes. Outcomes: Many people on both sides died and the Europeans failed to gain the Holy Land. But the Turks from now on let the pilgrims pass without a problem with respect for their king. The Crusaders brought back goods (silk, rugs, jewels, food, and ideas) from the Middle East and they became popular in Europe. Merchants became richer and moved out of manors to start their own towns and cities. Peasants bought their freedom (some) and Feudalism grew much weaker.

Some Crusaders were not particular about limiting their crimes to just the Muslims - Jews and Eastern Orthodox Christians were often easier targets.

Did the Crusaders come to the US in the 1500's?
Yes and No. History will tell you that the Crusaders went to Israel with no intention on going anywhere else. Some people argue however that they must have come over at some point due to the rock inscribed with the Crusaders holy cross found in Indiana. Most people, myself included, want to believe the finder of said rock made it himself. There's a whole 2-hour special on the History Channel about it, The Holy Grail in America , i think it's called. Hope that gives you an idea.

Some words that rhyme with "holy land" are "folded hand" and "boldly stand".
Why did the Jews leave the Holy Land?
Jews were forced out by armed invaders. The Babylonians invaded, sacked Jerusalem, and forced Jews into exile. Some stayed in Babylon while others returned from exile. The Roman empire sacked Jerusalem and forced Jews into exile and slavery, and did not allow Jews to return to Jerusalem until the Islamic conquest, when some returned. The Crusaders slaughtered essentially all of the Jews of Jerusalem, driving many Jewish refugees from the Crusader kingdoms. After the Crusaders were defeated, some Jews returned.
