During the Crusades, the Italian states of Venice and Genoa emerged as great commercial and naval powers. They capitalized on the demand for transport and supplies for the Crusaders, establishing trade routes and naval fleets to ferry troops and goods to the Holy Land. Their strategic locations and maritime expertise allowed them to dominate trade in the Mediterranean, leading to significant economic gains and influence in both European and Middle Eastern markets. This expansion solidified their roles as leading commercial hubs for centuries to come.
During the Crusades, key political and military leaders included figures such as Godfrey of Bouillon, who led the First Crusade and became the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Other notable leaders were Richard the Lionheart of England, known for his role in the Third Crusade, and Philip II of France, who also participated in that campaign. Additionally, leaders like Saladin, though a Muslim, played a crucial role in opposing the Crusaders, particularly during the recapture of Jerusalem. These leaders significantly influenced the course and outcomes of the Crusades.

In a word: France. Unfortunately, a simple "France" or "Germany" answer is not truly applicable. Countries as we know them today were really formed after the crusades. However, if one were to venture a guess as to which modern country suffered the most casualties during the crusades it would be France. They provided the most crusaders and settled the Holy Land the heaviest.
