The crusades were often known as a "successful failure" because they discovered new foods like apricots, rice and sugar. They also discovered new ideas like chess, pain killing medicine, algebra, chemistry and the color scarlet. Another thing is that they discovered house hold products like carpets, mirrors, writing paper and mattresses. The Crusades were a failure because they had the holy land: Jerusalem and then lost it about 100 years later to the Muslims.

For the Christians, only the First Crusade was successful, as they managed to claim the holy Land. However, this was soon reclaimed by the Muslims and the next six-seven Crusades were the Christians trying to, unsuccessfully, claim back the land.

The Crusades were holy wars fought between Christians in Europe and Muslims in the Middle East between 1095 and 1291.
