The emperor who requested aid during the Crusades was Emperor Alexios I Komnenos of the Byzantine Empire. In 1095, facing increasing pressure from the Seljuk Turks and the loss of large parts of Asia Minor, Emperor Alexios sent an appeal to Pope Urban II for military assistance. This request for help led to the First Crusade (1096–1099). At the Council of Clermont in November 1095, Pope Urban II responded to Alexios' call by urging Western Christians to take up arms and embark on a military campaign to liberate Jerusalem from Muslim control and to assist the Byzantine Empire in regaining its lost territories. Urban's call for a crusade galvanized the Christian knights and peasants of Western Europe, ultimately leading to the launch of the First Crusade. While Alexios sought help primarily to defend his empire, the Crusade also evolved into a religious mission to reclaim Jerusalem, and the Byzantine Empire's relationship with the crusaders became increasingly complex in the years that followed.

Additionally, rising nationalist sentiments and competition for colonies heightened tensions among European countries.
