They were 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. They failed because only 4 of the 8 crusades were successful. All the other ones failed.
