The Crusades had accomplished few of the goals that were set out by the pope
Pope Urban II believed that the Crusades would end the schism between the Eastern and Western Christian churches and restore unity among Christians. He also aimed to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control, which he viewed as a sacred duty. Additionally, he hoped that the Crusades would redirect the aggressive tendencies of European knights towards a common religious cause, thereby reducing internal conflicts in Europe. Ultimately, he envisioned the Crusades as a means to strengthen the papacy's influence and consolidate Christian power.
there were many crusades. i think 5 but the majority of the crusades the Muslims won.
the Seljuk Turks captured Jerusalem and would not allow Christians to go on a pilgrimage there Europeans went for fame, fortune, riches, religious beliefs, were absolved from all debt, and they were told by the pope they would go to heaven

The Crusades were a series of campaigns spanning from 1095 to 1291.
