One non-religious reason for the Crusades was the desire for land, wealth, and resources in the East. Many nobles and knights saw the opportunity to gain power and influence by taking control of valuable territories in the Holy Land. Economic factors such as trade and commerce also played a role in motivating participation in the Crusades.
The 2 Reasons why the crusades started:The first reason that the crusades started was that the Christians wanted to regain power over Jerusalem because the Turks wasn't allowing Christians to enter the city; and because Jerusalem was the Holy City to Christians, Muslims and Jews there was a lot of conflict between the three Religions. The second reason that the crusades started was that the Christians wanted people to change religions (EXAMPLE: Christians wanted Muslims to turn to Christians)so that that the Pope (the leader of the Christians churches) could basically gain power/ control.I hope this has helped you with this question.
Technically there is no such thing. To "really" be a saint you have to meet the requirements established by the Catholic church which include performing two miracles after your death. However, in general parlance, a saint is anyone who is extremely good or benevolent, religious or not.
One reason the Christian Crusades lost control of the Holy Land was that they faced strong resistance from local Muslim forces, particularly the unified armies of the Muslim leader Saladin. Additionally, the Crusader states were geographically isolated, making it difficult to maintain supply lines and reinforcements from Europe. Lastly, internal conflicts and rivalries among the Christian factions weakened their ability to defend against Muslim attacks.
Yes, we still see effects of the Crusades today in terms of religious tensions and relationships between different cultures in the regions that were impacted by the Crusades. The Crusades also left a lasting impact on the politics and power dynamics in the Middle East and Europe.
It's boringness.
Ostensibly the reason for the Crusades was to retake Jereusalem from the followers of Mohammed. However it seems clear that a parallel reason for the Crusades was the same as the reason for all wars.

The crusades were fought for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons and many historians see the Crusades as part of a purely defensive war against Islamic conquest.

Jerusalem fell to Muslim forces under Saladin.
Yes, aside from "freeing the Holy City," there were several incentives. First of all, knights, who were more or less soldiers of fortune, got absolution of all of their sins for participating in the Crusades. In addition, marching crusaders all got to perform pogroms on Jews and plunder cities.
Greed and the want for land was the main reason. Religion was the source of inspiration, and the Crusades would never have happened without religioin's influence. Not enough people would have fought.
The same reason all wars happen: Greed of The Chaldean thieves. === ===
I totally agree with the question but there is a reason; the first Crusades were called for by Pope Urban II, it was a declared Holy War. The main reason he called for them was to recapture the holy land Jerusalem (Palestine at the time) from Muslim control. Of course there were other factors involved but that's the main reason.

I think yes. The reason why they named them Crusades is because the Crusaders cut out red crosses and sewed them on their clothes as a sign that they were fighting for Christ. The french for cross is 'croix' and soon the crusaders talked of going on the 'croisades'.
