Wars between Christians and Turks primarily refer to the conflicts during the medieval and early modern periods, notably the Crusades and the Ottoman wars in Europe. The Crusades (11th to 13th centuries) were military campaigns initiated by European Christians aimed at reclaiming the Holy Land from Muslim control, including the Seljuk Turks. Later, the Ottoman Empire, which emerged in the 14th century, engaged in numerous battles with Christian states in Europe, leading to significant territorial changes and cultural exchanges. These conflicts were driven by religious, political, and territorial ambitions.
The Crusades began soon after the Seljuk Turks threatened the Byzantine Empire and captured significant territories, including Jerusalem. In response to this threat, Pope Urban II called for the First Crusade in 1095, urging Christians to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. This marked the start of a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims that lasted for several centuries. The Crusades were driven by a mix of religious fervor, political motives, and the desire for wealth and land.
For nearly two hundred years, the Muslim Turks and European Christians fought in wars known as the Crusades. These military campaigns, which began in the late 11th century, were primarily aimed at reclaiming Jerusalem and other sacred sites from Muslim control. The Crusades had a profound impact on Christian-Muslim relations and shaped the political landscape of the Mediterranean region. They also facilitated cultural exchanges, despite the violence and conflict involved.

The Crusades.
The Turks undertook a series of actions to conquer the Byzantine Empire. This lead to the crusades, which included a series of wars between Europeans and Turks. After the crusades, the Turks continued working to conquer the Byzantine Empire until they finally succeeded in 1453. This ended the Middle Ages, but not the Turkish conquests in Europe.
The European Christians viewed the Muslim Turks as if they were evil villans. They took over the land that was rightfully theirs. At least in the mind of the European Christians.
The Seljuk Turks generally allowed Christians to practice their religion but imposed certain restrictions and discriminatory policies, such as requiring them to pay a special tax (jizya) and limiting their freedom of worship. Overall, interactions between the Seljuks and Christians varied depending on the specific ruler and region.
