The Crusades was a holy battle between the Christians and the Muslims. The Crusades was nine wars all together. With five major wars and four minor wars. Those wars still have effects on modern day society even after a thousand years.Were the results of the Crusades more positive or negative? The Crusades were more negative because of all the terrible things that happened during the time period of the eleventh to the thirteenth century. The acts done in the Crusades were so awful that people now, look back at the Crusades as something that never should have been done. Document 1 states that, “They also left behind a bitter legacy of religious hatred behind them.”This is important because in doing what the Christians did, it made
A Different Outlook on the Crusades Rodney Stark, author of the monograph God’s Battalions: The Case for the Crusades, displays a different approach than most of what he believes was the cause of the crusades. The monograph displays the events of the crusades in chronological order to get an accurate understanding of what happened and when. The question that Stark is researching is the true cause of the crusades. In his introduction, Stark explains the general view of what historians believed caused the crusades. He explains many different popular interpretations on how and why the crusades began.
The war lasted from 1095 bc to 1204 bc. Two religions fight for land, money and power. This leaves two questions to people. Why did these religions hate each other so much? They hated each other so much because of their difference of religion and gods.
In 1095 on November 27 in Clermont,France, Pope Urban the II called for a Crusade to help the Byzantines and free the city of Jerusalem. The official start date was set as August 15, 1096. This order little did he know would be the cause of a battle that turned into 9 war’s that last for nearly 200 years. This event in history clearly has a outcome that is way more negative than positive. Have you ever imagined being in the middle of a 200 year war people dropping like flies just because of an argument over one city?
The crusades was also a very sad and depressing time. Many people who didn 't even fight in the crusades had lost their lives because of the religion they believed in. If they were not the ones to lose their lives then they had lost someone important to them. Document 3 states that the crusades sometimes happened because christians were trying to take back their land from muslims. Some were only looking to fight for their religion but others had done it for fun.
The Crusades are several wars that went on between the Muslims and the Christians They fought for Jerusalem. Most of the wars took place in Jerusalem. Were the results of the Crusades more positive of negative? I think the results were more negative. One reason being the people that the Christians hired turned their backs on them.
The Crusades was a war between two religions , which were Islam and Christianity. They both were fighting for the holy land in Jerusalem. For the Christians the holy land meant that Jesus was born there. For the Muslims the holy land was where Muslims believe Muhammad the prophet was taken to heaven by Allah which is called The Dome Of Rock. In our opinion the Crusades were a failure because it was a waste of time and a lot of lives were lost.
Did you know that Christians in the middle ages were so dedicated to their religion that they held a children's crusade to take down the enemy that actual soldiers couldn’t defeat? That is just how dedicated people can be to their religion. I do not entirely blame them, in the middle ages religion was the one thing people can look forward to in life so it would just make sense that religious devotion, and the paradise of Heaven is what the religions were fighting for during the Crusades. The Crusades was a war between the Christians and Muslims during Europe's middle ages that is often viewed as a holy war, however some people are beginning to believe it was more about money or land. However this cannot be true because of how much people
Introduction: Provide background information on the Crusades, restate the DBQ question, state thesis with reasons. (include academic vocabulary and underline) The results of the Crusades was probably more negative than positive. In “Doc 4”, It states that “Moreover, the assault of one Christian people on another, when one of the goals of the Fourth Crusade was reunion of Greek and Latin churches, made the split between the Greek and Latin churches permanent.” The Crusades had a lot of hatred to the religions, and by 1204 the Crusaders had lost some of their appeal because the knights agreed to attack the Byzantine Capital instead.
The results of the crusades were more negative than positive. It was more negative than positive because many people affected from the crusades in a negative way. Also the crusades was negative because there was hatred towards different religions.
According to S Dalby in Political Geography (2008), the Crusades were a response to the gradual decline of the Byzantine Empire, which had been a strong ally of the Crusaders. The Crusades were an attempt to take back the Holy Land and reclaim it for Christianity, and their success had a dramatic effect on the Kingdom of Heaven. The Crusades increased the power of the papacy, as the Pope was able to use the crusades as a way to spread his influence over the region, while also providing a safe haven for the pilgrims who were traveling to the Holy Land. Furthermore, the Crusades helped to strengthen the Church's control over the region and allowed for the establishment of numerous monasteries and churches in the area. Ultimately, the Crusades had a lasting impact on the Kingdom of Heaven, and helped to shape the region for centuries to
The Crusades provided an opportunity for knights to win fame and wealth, and to demonstrate their martial prowess. Also oddly enough the Crusaders' conviction in the
Pope Urban II’s speech at Clermont in 1095 was a call to crusade given outdoors to the nobles, commoners and church leaders of the Western European Christians (the Franks). The people were moved by this speech and it changed history, launching the first crusade to capture Jerusalem from the Muslim Turks. After hearing Pope Urban II’s speech, thousands of Western European Christians were moved to embark on the dangerous journey and fight in the crusade. I believe the main reasons they were moved and persuaded to fight was; 1) they felt it was their Christian duty, 2) Pope Urban promised them absolution for their sins and 3) they felt compelled to defend Christianity, their holy land and the Eastern Christians.
Many things happened during the crusades. First crusaders left there families, the women and children where left to fend for themselves. In the first and only successful crusade the crusaders killed all Muslim inhabitants of Jerusalem. Although the crusaded was successful, within 46 years the land had to be fought for agin. All thought there was other crusades they still didn 't manage regain the holy land.
The Crusades were successful failures because they did not meet many of their goals, but left lasting effects. The Crusades was an attempt by the Roman Catholic Church to regain the Holy Lands from the Muslims. They believed they were fighting for god and all sins would be forgiven and defend the Byzantine Empire from the Turks. The first Crusade (1096 -1099) was successful for the Christians because they had a clear and organized religious based purpose. Crusaders the Christian armies were able to hold Jerusalem and in the process led to a massacre of Jews.
The Muslim people were the ones being attacked and had opposing viewpoints of what was going on. The views of the crusades were vastly different from two of the largest religious groups of their time, the Christians and the Muslims. The Christians looked at the crusade as their religious and personal mission and duty. After all, the Christians were the ones who were leading the crusades and they were the ones who were the biggest advocates of them.
