The pope wanted to take back land that the Christians believed was sacred to them (Jerusalem). The first crusade worked well because of the element of surprise, but the Muslims won the following 7 crusades.

Christians participated in the Crusades primarily to recapture the Holy Land from Muslim control, as it was considered a holy site in Christianity. Additionally, there were political motivations, such as the desire to regain influence in the region and to reclaim lost territories. The Crusades were also seen as an opportunity for knights and nobles to seek glory, wealth, and land.
