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.')
because the christians got the holy land (jerusalem) and then lost it about 100 yrs later to the muslims
