The Crusades changed European life.
The holy city being fought over during the Crusades was Jerusalem. It held significant religious importance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims, making it a focal point of conflict during the series of religious wars that spanned from the late 11th century to the late 13th century. The Crusades aimed to reclaim Jerusalem and other sacred sites from Muslim control. Ultimately, the control of the city changed hands multiple times throughout the Crusades.
they fought dat they was da bad peeps init! Since the time of Constantine, Christians had gone on pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Even though Moslems had ruled Jerusalem since 638, Christians were still allowed to visit the city. By the 11th century, however, the situation had changed. Just as the number and frequency of pilgrimages to Jerusalem was at new peaks, the Seljuk Turks took over control of Jerusalem and prevented pilgrimages.
they attacked and conquered them until hy got what they wanted!! :]
In answering this question it is important to first define what constitutes a crusade in this discussion. Some historians argue that only crusades to the East (I.E. to Jerusalem etc.) where real crusades. This is called a traditionalist view. However, the view that is now becoming more widely accepted by modern historians is that the crusades include all the organised battles/wars by members of the catholic faith towards a certain group deemned to be enemies/threats to christendom, it must also be sanctioned/launched by the current pope. There must also be some sort of crusader beneifit such as the remission of sins or a plenary indulgence. The latter definition mentioned above means that as well as the crusades to the East, there are also crusades against pagans in the balkans, crusades against the German emperor Frederick II, and the Albigensian crusades in Southern France against the Cathar heretcs. As well as many other small crusades. In the begining of the crusading movement, the crusades were all to the East. The main motives for these crusades was the protection of Christian Holy sites such as the sepulcher. Another important motive was the protection of both christians living in the area and also pilgrims who were increasinly facing attack from Muslim forces. During the course of the crusades, the direction of some crusades changed from the east to areas within Europe. This also caused the motives to change. There were no holy sites to protect, and no pilgrims or christians under immediate threat. Instead these crusades could be described as political crusades. This is particularly true of the crusade against Frederick II. Frederick and the pope of the time fell out for many reasons and the crusade was launched by the pope as a way of dealing with his political problems caused by Frederick in areas such a lombardy. Crusades against the pagans and the cathars in southern France, also so not fit in with the motive that apply to crusading to the east. Instead, this was a way of attacking potential threat to Christianity and/or the popes political power. The Pope that was most willinging to sanction these political crusades was Innocent III who was particularly ruthless.

The unexpected results of the Crusades had a more profound impact on Europe than the victory of the First Crusade. While the First Crusade established Christian control over Jerusalem, it also led to increased tensions between Christians and Muslims, fostering an enduring cycle of conflict. Additionally, the Crusades facilitated cultural exchanges, trade, and the introduction of new ideas, which significantly influenced European society, economy, and intellectual life. Ultimately, the long-term consequences of the Crusades reshaped Europe's geopolitical landscape more than the initial successes of the First Crusade.
Survivors of the Crusades often faced a profound shift in their lives, marked by physical and psychological scars from the brutal conflicts. Many returned home to find their communities altered, with social and political dynamics changed due to the ongoing tensions between Christians and Muslims. Those who had experienced the Crusades might have gained wealth, status, or land, but they also dealt with trauma and a disillusionment regarding the ideals of the holy war. Additionally, their perspectives on faith and cultural interactions were often transformed, leading to a more complex understanding of their place in a diverse world.
The crusades were going on and they changed a lot.
