There have been historical and ongoing conflicts between different religious groups in Jerusalem, including Christians and Muslims, over issues related to the city's control and religious sites. These conflicts often stem from deeply held religious beliefs and historical claims to the area. Political and territorial disputes also play a significant role in the tensions surrounding Jerusalem.
The Crusades were a series of religious wars fought between Christians and Muslims over control of holy lands in the Middle East. Both sides believed they had a divine right to these lands, leading to conflicts fueled by religious fervor, political ambition, and territorial expansion. The First Crusade was launched in 1096 by European Christians seeking to reclaim Jerusalem, which was under Muslim rule at the time.
The Crusaders, who were predominantly Christian knights from Western Europe, were the first Christians to fight against Muslims for control of the Holy Land during the Crusades in the 11th to 13th centuries.
The Crusades, a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims, officially ended in 1291 when the Muslims captured the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land. However, tensions and conflicts between Christians and Muslims have persisted in various forms throughout history.
Religion, probably was the biggest reason of all, because during the first crusade the Holy War was started. The Holy War was between the Muslims and the Christians. The purpose of the Holy War was to regain the practice of the Christian in Jerusalem where the Muslims had taken over. So peasants probably join in the fight to protect their faith.
why the christians joined to fight in the crusades was because the pope brain washed them to join and if they did not want to join, they were forced. on their jouney, they would bag and loot places in other words, they would steal things they wanted and needed, then, they would kill people and win their land. ================= In the 8th Century, Muslims took control of Jeruselem. In many ways, this was an opressive act toward the Christians, as the ability to practice their faith was interfered with. All to much attention is pointed toward the Pope and some fanatics. However, the Crusades were fundamentally a reaction to Muslim oppression.
Jerusalem
a fight between the Christians and the Muslims over Jerusalem (their holy land).
JERUSALEM was a holy city hotly contested between Muslims and Christians during the centuries of the Crusades.
The first crusade started because the Christians wanted to regain the holy land of Jerusalem from the Muslims.
Spain was historically a christian country when Muslims fought it and invaded it, it was ruled by Muslims but as the time passes the empire grew weaker and weaker and Christians fought to regain the country.

The crusades is not a person it is a holy war between two or more religious. But they were fighting for Jerusalem for different reasons. It was between Muslims and christians.
No, he sent Christians to fight. The Turks were Muslims.
In the early middle ages Arab Muslims controlled Jerusalem. Many Christians went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem to visit the holy land. The Arab Muslims allowed this until the Turkish Muslims took over. When pilgrims visited the Holy land the Turkish Muslims would beat them, rob them and in some cases murder them. The Christians didn't like this and were told by the pope too go and fight, if Christians fought their sins would be immediately forgiven and if they died the would go straight to heaven and they would also protect their land and people and receive land so the holy war began this was called a crusade. Christians and Muslims fought over the power of Jerusalem and this is how the Christians recieved the name 'The Crusaders'.
