Europeans viewed capturing Jerusalem as crucial for both religious and political reasons. For Christians, it was seen as the Holy City, the site of significant events in the life of Jesus, making its control a matter of faith and pilgrimage. Additionally, during the Crusades, capturing Jerusalem symbolized the reclamation of Christian lands from Muslim rule, enhancing the prestige of European powers. This aspiration was further fueled by a desire to expand influence and secure trade routes in the region.
Jerusalem was the city of prophets, of the holy Temple, and the dynasty of King David.For the importance of Jerusalem for Judaism, see: Jerusalem in Judaism

Probably the Al Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
The most important events occurred in Jerusalem since it was the central point of the Jewish nation and religion. However, most of Jesus' ministry occurred in Galilee.
Jerusalem is the Holy City in which Jesus spent most of his life. He was born in a small town outside the city, he was executed within the city on the Via Dolorosa, and he did his teachings in both Jerusalem temples and in Gentile territory.

The Crusades were a series of wars waged by Christian Europe to seize Jerusalem and the Holy Land. The Europeans won the First Crusade (1095 - 1099 CE), in which they killed many Muslim and Jewish civilians. However, they lost the following Crusades, particularly thanks to Saladin who reconquered Jerusalem and the Holy Land in 1187 CE.
