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.
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 Christians captured Palestine in the first Crusade
King Richard I of England's main opponent in the Third Crusade was Saladin, the Muslim leader and Sultan of Egypt and Syria. Saladin had successfully captured Jerusalem in 1187, prompting the Crusade aimed at reclaiming the city for Christendom. The conflict between Richard and Saladin was marked by several notable battles, including the Battle of Arsuf, and while neither side achieved a decisive victory, they ultimately negotiated a truce that allowed Christians safe passage to Jerusalem.
