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.
Christians were promised forgiveness and a spot in heaven if they joined the crusades.

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.
