The Christians actually controlled the Middle East, north Africa,and Asia minor but the Muslims who were "following" the Koran invaded converting or murdering the inhabitants regions they conquered all of the above and started to move in on the byzantine empire the empire at the time 1094 asked the pope to send a crusade and he sent one which took Jerusalem in a huge bloodbath and then made four crusader states and for a short time there was peace in the holy land but then the Muslims attacked Jerusalem and took resulting anther 8 crusade. So basically what happened in the crusades was the Muslims attacked the Christians fought back each taking over the holy land and murdering the inhabitants resulting in hundreds of thousands of Pointless deaths
