The purpose of the Crusades was to regain Jerusalem from the Muslims.
Saladin
During the second crusades Muslims managed to defeat the Christians and retake Jerusalem. I'd like to add that a "crusader" is a warrior taking part in a crusade, while the "wholly wars" started by the Mediaeval Christians were called "crusades".
The goal was to recapture the Holy Land (Palestine) from the Seldjuk Turks. The Turks had defeated the Byzantines in 1071, and took Jerusalem. They persecuted the Chistians. So, the Crusades were military expeditions fought by the Europeans to win back the Holy Land. The First Crusade was called by the Pope (Urban II). The Crusades successfully captured Jerusalem in 1099 and massacred its inhabitants.
The main difference between the First Crusade and the Second Crusade is that the Christian forces successfully captured Jerusalem and surrounding lands in the First Crusade and experienced heavy losses in the Second Crusade. Both crusades were formed to reconquer Muslim lands that had been previously Christian and/or Jewish.
Yes, during the 1st Crusade it was captured in July 1099, and lost again in 1187 when it was captured by Saladin.

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.
the first crusade was a success so later kings thought they could direct successful crusades too cause Muslims recaptured Jerusalem after first crusade but all other crusades failed
