Western Europeans launched the crusades primarily for religious reasons. The Catholic Church believed that capturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control was a holy undertaking and would help to secure the salvation of their souls. Additionally, some nobles saw the opportunity for wealth, land, and increased power through participation in the expeditions. Political motivations such as expanding Christian influence in the East and diverting internal conflicts also played a role.
