The Crusades were called for by both Christian and Muslim leaders, most notably Pope Urban II, who initiated the First Crusade in 1095 by appealing to Christians to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control.

Both sides framed their campaigns as religiously motivated, seeking to protect and expand their respective faiths' influence in the region.
