The main target of the Crusades was to reclaim the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem, from Muslim control. Initiated in the late 11th century, these military campaigns aimed to restore Christian access to sacred sites and defend Byzantine Christians against Muslim expansion. Over time, the Crusades also sought to assert and expand Christian influence throughout the Eastern Mediterranean.
