They were inspired by religious fervor, the promise of spiritual rewards, and the desire to protect sacred sites.

Men joined the Crusades for various reasons, including religious zeal to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control and to fulfill the call of the Pope, who promised spiritual rewards and absolution of sins. Economic incentives also played a role, as some sought land, wealth, and adventure. Additionally, the Crusades offered an opportunity for social mobility and the chance to gain honor and prestige in a time when feudal conflicts were common. Lastly, some men were motivated by a desire for camaraderie and a sense of belonging to a larger cause.
Crusades caused by the Christians have actually increased Europe's economical activity. The reason is because the Pope has ordered all Christian men to join the army, and told them to raise money for the great Crusades. So, the economic status of the cities grew, and thus, resulted in economic boom. (In destroyed towns and cities however, economic trend dropped, due to obvious reasons like being destroyed)
Christians were promised forgiveness and a spot in heaven if they joined the crusades.
