Why do think so many people were willing to go on a crusade?
Religion that is Christianity was extremely important during the medieval period.
People had a real fear of dying and going to hell to burn for eternity. As a result the church could 'blackmail' people into going on Crusade by saying that if you go on
Crusade to Jerusalem you will automatically be forgiven all your sins. They also said that you would be forgiven any sins you commit in the future. People truly believe that
they were to free Jerusalem from the 'infidels" so a lot of them willingly went on Crusade believing that they would do this great thing and be saved by God from being killed.

Returning Crusaders brought back exotic goods such as spices, silks, and precious stones, which were previously unknown or rare in Europe.

The increased demand for these goods also stimulated advancements in trade routes and commerce.
