Were the crusades successful in that the Holy Land was recaptured and retained?
The Crusades initially resulted in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099, marking a temporary success for the Crusaders. However, the Holy Land was not retained in the long term; by 1291, Muslim forces had recaptured most of the territories established by the Crusaders. Overall, while there were brief periods of success, the Crusades ultimately failed to establish lasting Christian control over the Holy Land.
Why did the crusades last so long?
You had to gather your army, supply it and then travel (by land or ship) to the Holy Land.
How long did it take the European Crusaders to get to the holy land?
The journey of the European Crusaders to the Holy Land varied depending on the specific crusade and the route taken.

The First Crusade, for example, began in 1096 and reached Jerusalem in 1099, taking roughly three years in total, including the time spent traveling and fighting along the way.

Who wins the crusades battles?
The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims, primarily fought over control of the Holy Land. While the Crusaders achieved notable victories in the early campaigns, such as the capture of Jerusalem in 1099, subsequent Crusades saw significant Muslim victories, particularly under leaders like Saladin. Ultimately, the Muslim forces regained control of Jerusalem by 1187 and maintained dominance in the region, leading to a decline in Crusader influence over time. Thus, while the Crusaders won some battles, Muslims emerged as the overall victors in the long-term struggle for the Holy Land.

Who owned the holy land first between the Muslims and the Crusaders?
The Muslims controlled the Holy Land long before the first Crusaders. The advancing Muslims conquered northern Palestine in 636 and Jerusalem in 638. They controlled the whole of Syria, Palestine and Egypt by 641. Christians and Jews were permitted to remain, subject to payment of a poll tax.In 1099, the Christians of the First Crusade took Jerusalem and massacred the population, which was predominantly Muslim. They created several small Crusader states, notably the Kingdom of Jerusalem.In 1187, Saladin recaptured Jerusalem for the Muslims, sparing the Christian population.The Christians recaptured Acre in 1191, during the Third Crusade.The Crusaders retained some territory until the thirteenth century, when the Knights Hospitaller left for the island of Rhodes. Although the Muslims now controlled the entire Near East, they permitted Christians and Jews to remain.
Did the crusades free the holy land?
No. There were three armies from France, Germany and a coalition from Northern Europe with the aim of retaking the County of Edessa. There first two were defeated in Anatolia by the Seljuks and barely made it into Jerusalem, the third went by sea and helped recapture Lisbon in the Reconquista in 1147. The remnants of the crusading armies attempted an attack on Damascus in 1148 after regrouping but this failed. So no, the crusading armies did not recapture the County of Edessa or any of the other, smaller provinces lost to Zengi and his Seljuk alliance.
Why were crusade routes mostly on water?
The age was not known for good roads. Although these probably got a bit better closer to the cities of the Byzantines, moving an army across medieval Europe would have meant moving it through the mud.I am not terribly sure that this is correct. There were a large numbers of Crusaders who made the overland journey to the Holy Land. This long journey was one of the principal reasons why the Crusader States formed along the Mediterranean Coast along the route from Constantinople to Jerusalem. However, one of the major benefits to water travel over land travel in the Crusade period was that robbers and thieves could not ambush you along the road. Additionally, the route by water was more direct than the route by land.
