The Crusades were primarily fought for religious reasons, with Christian knights seeking to reclaim the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem, from Muslim control, viewing it as a sacred duty. On the other side, Muslims fought to defend their territories and faith against what they perceived as foreign invasions and aggression. Additionally, the Crusades were motivated by political, economic, and social factors, including the desire for land, wealth, and prestige among European nobility. Both sides were driven by a combination of faith, the quest for power, and the desire for resources.
