It wasn't a country so much as a city; the Crusaders wanted to take over Palestine (Jerusalem) which was- and still remains- one of the largest holy centers in the world. At the time of the first Crusade, Palestine was in Muslim control, and, actually, the main reason for the Crusades was to recapture the holy land from the Islam religion.

Who had the crusades?

The crusades were a religiously inspired initiative of Pope Urban II. They were a series of religiously justified campaigns against the Islamic populations of the Middle East, in particular the regions around Jerusalem. The crusades met varying levels of success over their lifespan (roughly the 11th-13th centuries) with the First Crusade being widely considered the most successful. I recommend Geoffrey Hindley's A Brief History of The Crusades: Islam and Christianity in the Struggle for World Supremacy, as it provides a good outline of the first few crusades in a fairly laid back format.

Why did men want to fight in the crusades?

Before feminist movements, men were considered the warriors and the providers. With this in consideration, women would not have been able to fight in the Crusades, whether they wanted to or not. However, men would have wanted to fight in the Crusades as they would have been considered Holy Warriors, fighting to reclaim lost Holy territory from what they considered to be heathen thieves - Muslim 'invaders.'
