The Crusades were a series of wars between Christians and Muslims during the Middle Ages ; medieval times. Western European Christians sought to gain control of Palestine, the land where Jesus lived, died, and according to Christians, was resurrected, from the Muslims. While Christian Crusaders never achieved more than temporary control of Jerusalem, the Crusades had many lasting effects on Western European societies. These effects profoundly changed the lives of Western Europeans.

One of the many effects of the Crusades was that the pope and the kings of Western Europe became more powerful. In addition, Europeans began to trade with the Middle East. Trade increased as Western Europeans began to buy products like sugar, lemons, and spices. Naturally, increased trade led to increased cultural diffusion. Crusaders and traders learned about Arab art, architecture, medicine, and mathematics. Since the Arabs were very advanced in science and mathematics, Western European knowledge increased. Finally, after traveling to the Middle East, may Western Europeans began to see their small villages as uninteresting and even boring. Many Western Europeans began to seek adventure. They became explorers like Colombus, Magellan, Vasco DeGama, and Irene Barry

The classification depends on the context and the specific materials being referenced.

One of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's major achievements was the implementation of the New Deal, a series of programs and reforms aimed at addressing the economic devastation of the Great Depression. The New Deal included initiatives such as Social Security, the establishment of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the creation of jobs through public works projects. These measures helped to stabilize the economy, provide relief to millions of Americans, and lay the groundwork for the modern welfare state. Roosevelt's leadership during this challenging period fundamentally transformed the role of the federal government in economic and social affairs.

The right of citizens to place a measure or issue before the voters or legislature for approval is known as "direct democracy" or the process of "ballot initiatives" and "referendums." This allows citizens to propose legislation or constitutional amendments and gather signatures to qualify their proposals for a vote. If enough support is garnered, the measure is then presented to the electorate or legislative body for approval. This mechanism empowers citizens to directly influence decision-making and policy outcomes in their government.
