The Siege of Antioch took place during the First Crusade in 1097 and 1098 under the first crusade.
The Second Crusade took place from 1147-1149. It began after Muslim Turks recaptured one of the Crusader states. This crusade ended in defeat for the Crusaders largely because the French and German armies failed to work together.Until the late 1100s, other Crusader states remained under European control. Muslim armies failed to retake them because Muslims in Palestine and Egypt did not work together. By 1187, Saladin, a skilled military and political Muslim leader, had united Egypt, Syria Palestine, and parts of Southwest Asia in a single state.

During the Second Crusade (1147-1149), Jerusalem was not captured; in fact, it was already under Christian control, having been taken during the First Crusade in 1099. The Second Crusade aimed to respond to the fall of the County of Edessa in 1144 to Muslim forces. The crusaders, led by figures such as King Louis VII of France and Emperor Conrad III of Germany, faced significant challenges, and their campaign ultimately ended in failure, leading to no significant gains in the Holy Land.
