They didn't exactly 'attack Palestine'. The mission of the Christian Crusaders was to
rescue the Holy Land from the hands of whoever was there and was not Christian.
They generally slaughtered any Muslims and Jews they met on the way.
No. The main target of the Crusades was Palestine, although some Crusaders attacked parts of Europe and Asia Minor.
Yes
The Crusades
Most of the battles of the Crusades took place in what is now the State of Israel and parts of the State of Palestine.
The crusades took place in palestine wich the Muslims, Chrictians, Jews called the holy place.
Because the truce between Richard and Saladin did not last, so the Fourth Crusade happened.
The Turks took over Palestine from the Arabs. It became unsafe for Christian Pilgrims to visit The Holy Sites listed in The Bible. The First Crusade had the purpose of capturing Palestine for Christians so that Christian Pilgrims would be safe. After 100 years, Saladin conquered Palestine. The Second Crusade failed to reconquer Palestine. The leaders of the third and fourth Crusades discovered they did not have the forces to recapture Palestine and turned to piracy. Like so many movements that start for noble purposes, the Crusades ended in corruption.
Medieval crusades were caused by conflict between Christianity and Islam in Palestine. Christian Europe and Islamic Turcs had interests in the same area.
Conquest of large areas of Palestine
Crusades were not "won". Most of the crusades were attempts to create a common enemy (the Muslims who had settled in Palestine) and divert attention from local troubles.
Jerusalem was the final city in all the crusades because the muslims and christians tried getting there because thats where palestine was, the holy land. Simi
The church called for the Crusades in response to perceived threats to Christianity, such as the Turkish expansion into the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim control of Jerusalem. They also saw it as an opportunity to reunite the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity and to assert their influence and power. Additionally, the Crusades provided a way to channel and control the violence present in society at that time.
