Since the Holy Land of Jerusalem is a disputed territory, it became the centre of bloodshed for many years. Muslims assumed control of the land from the caliphite of Umar. The land was handed over to Muslims who ruled until the emergence of the Crusaders 900 years later. They were Christian warriors from Europe who were given orders by Europian nations to assume control of the Holy Land and allow Christian pilgrims freedom to Temple Mount. Thus an obvious conflict arose. The Crusaders took control of the land for a short period until they were overthrown by the Ottoman warrior Saladin and his army who assumed control of the land. The land was then ruled by the Ottomans until the early 1900s .
