Were the crusades considered a success or a failure?

The Crusades were widely considered a failure, in that they failed to achieve their stated objective of spreading Christianity to the Holy Land. However, it brought many positive changes to European society as returning crusaders brought Muslim knowledge back with them, helping to spark the Renaissance.


In what ways were crusades both a success and a failure?

It was a success because the Europeans were introduced to the knowledge of the ancient past that was being preserved by the Muslims. It was a failure because they never regained the Holy Land. (Which explains why it's called 'history's most successful failure.')

Why are the Crusades important in European History?

The Crusades are really important in European history because it was the biggest war of the Middle Ages. You have to consider that in the Middle Ages in Europe pretty much everyone was a Catholic and very religious. So when the Pope said that they had to go to war to win back Jerusalem (the most important place for Christians) everyone was involved in some way. It would have effected everyones lives: going on the Crusade, paying the taxes to fund the Crusades, praying for the people on the Crusades and for victories... The Crusades were spread over hundreds off years so most people in the era would have experienced it. The Crusades was massive as it lead to the winning and losing of the most important places in two religions Christianity and Islam; and the two sides fighting against each other to see which side was stronger. The Crusades have been called the first world wars as it involved the two superpowers in the Middle Ages Europe and Asia.

Why is the history of Islam so unknown in the western world?

Most Westerners barely know their own history, let alone the history of a different group of people from themselves. Western failure to know the History of Islam is quite strongly matched by Western failure to know South Asian History, Southeast Asian History, African History, Latin American History, East Asian History, Central Asian History, and, in some cases, Eastern European History. Conversely, I have discovered that most Muslims only have a general understanding of European History and even that history is based on Imperialist interactions and not based on domestic Western activities and views.The bottom line is that people everywhere are disinterested in learning history, especially of others.
