The Crusades are often viewed as a failure due to their inability to achieve their primary goal of permanently securing Christian control over the Holy Land. Despite initial military successes, the Crusaders struggled with internal divisions, logistical challenges, and a lack of sustained support from European powers. Additionally, the campaigns led to significant loss of life and resources, further alienating Christian and Muslim communities. Ultimately, the Crusades failed to create lasting political or religious change in the region, leading to a resurgence of Muslim power.
The Crusades was called the worlds most successful failure because it brought culture and technology back from the Middle East and they feudal system and the power of the church declines.
For those in power and who ordered it then it was a huge success. The church and ruling classes.
The crusades, judged by what they set out to accomplish, must be accounted an inglorious failure. After two hundred years of conflict, after a vast expenditure of wealth and human lives, the Holy Land remained in Moslem hands.
It was a success because the Europeans were introduced to the knowledge of the ancient past that was being preserved by the Muslims. It was a failure because they never regained the Holy Land. (Which explains why it's called 'history's most successful failure.')

The Crusades were widely considered a failure, in that they failed to achieve their stated objective of spreading Christianity to the Holy Land. However, it brought many positive changes to European society as returning crusaders brought Muslim knowledge back with them, helping to spark the Renaissance.
The Christians went on Crusades to liberate Jerusalem from Muslim control, after being told to do so by the Pope in Rome. The Crusades were a failure and the Muslims controlled Jerusalem until WWI, when the British got control of the region.
