The crusades started because the Pope wanted to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. While there were actually many small crusades, there are four major ones that stick out in history. The first crusade, from 1095-1099, is considered a Christian success because the crusaders were able to reclaim Jerusalem. The second crusade, from 1145-1148 was fought to claim Edessa from the Muslims. The crusaders lost the battle. The third crusade, from 1187-1191, was fought to attempt to reclaim Jerusalem from Saludin. While the crusaders did not win Muslim control, Christians were given free citizen access. The fourth crusade, from 1198-1204, was the most brutal. The crusaders ended up attacking their own cities and causing devastation to their own people, without ever making it to the Holy Land.
The Fifth Crusade (1217-1221) aimed to recapture Jerusalem by first conquering Egypt, which was seen as a key to controlling the Holy Land. Crusaders captured the port city of Damietta in 1219 but faced difficulties advancing further. Despite initial successes, a failed siege of Cairo and subsequent losses led to the eventual withdrawal of the crusading forces. The campaign ultimately ended in failure, with many crusaders dying or returning home disillusioned.

Unfortunately, the first Crusades were not really distinguished by any real level of idealism: Pope Urban II knew that a crusade would serve to reunite Christendom, bolster the papacy, and perhaps bring the East under his control.When the first Crusaders took Jerusalem in 1099, they massacred the population regardless of whether they were Muslims, Jews or Christians.The People's Crusade was really part of the First Crusade. The peasant population that formed the basis of People's Crusade had been afflicted by drought, famine, and plague for many years before 1096, and some of them seem to have envisaged the crusade as an escape from these hardships - a practical reason, but hardly idealism.The German Crusade of 1096 is that part of the First Crusade in which peasant crusaders, mostly from Germany, attacked European Jews. Many people wondered why they should travel thousands of miles to fight non-believers when there were already non-believers closer to home. It is also likely that the crusaders were motivated by a need for money. The only evidence here for idealism is among the authorities and religious leaders who attempted to shelter their Jewish subjects. Certainly the later Crusades were at least as opportunistic as the first. More importantly, they achieved little and resulted in the eventual abandonment of the Holy Land by Christian Knights.

Many cities were attackd by the crusaders. The most important two were:Jerusalem, captured by the crusaders of the First Crusade in 1099, with its entire population slaughtered, without concern whether they were Muslim or Christian.Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Empire, which was sacked by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1204.

well, to be smart here, the Crusades had many battles fought, even the christian orthadox fought, Mongols. and many other crusade groups. Think of it as a tournament.
There are generally considered to be nine major crusades. They are considered to have began in 1095 and ended in 1285. Some sources decide to draw the lines differently. Some consider the people's crusade to the be first in 1096, others do not consider this a true crusade.
Well they all were important within their own right. The First three were the most famous though. The First Crusade ended with European crusaders retaking Jerusalem. In the Second, Saladin took Jerusalem from the Crusader king, Guy of Lusignan. The Third, and probably the most famous, would be the war between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart of England which ended with a stalemate. Many more came after, but the Third was considered the last major push against the Crusader cause.
The number of Crusaders who survived the journey to Asia during the various Crusades varied significantly. For instance, during the First Crusade, it is estimated that around 100,000 people set out, but only about 20,000 to 30,000 reached Jerusalem. Many perished due to battles, disease, and hardships along the way. Overall, survival rates were low, and each Crusade experienced different outcomes in terms of survival.
