The First Crusade, starting in 1095, was a Christian military expedition undertaken. Four armies of Crusaders formed from different Western European regions to start their fight for the Holy Land.

The crusades were a series of eight holy wars fought by the Christian crusaders and the Muslim Turks. They began as a way to gain control of the sacred places that were important to each religious group, most notably the Holy City of Jerusalem. The Third Crusade was a three year long war between the Christians and Muslims under very prominent rulers like Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. It was arguably one of the more successful crusades, even though the main goal was not achieved. Even though the Holy City of Jerusalem was not taken back from the Muslims, the Third Crusade was successful to an extent because of the battles won, the strong leaders involved, and the outcomes of the various treaties as signed by the Christians and Muslim leaders

When investigating my question, what were the politics that started the first Crusade, I had to utilize a couple methods that historians use when investigating a topic. Those methods used by historians are the heuristic method, which is the identification of a source's relevance to a topic, and criticism; an evaluation of the values and limitations one's resource possesses. I used the heuristic method when searching for relevant material to use in my investigation, leading me to scrutinize resources used in my paper. I, also, used criticism when I evaluated my primary resources in the first portion of this investigation. Personally, I think scrutiny is important because it keeps the investigation honest.

Dr. Kline, I have had this message in my drafts for a long time. I have still been bouncing around the idea of getting my PhD a year after I graduate with my MBA. I only have loans to pay for the MBA program, because I was fortunate enough to have a financial based scholarship (ACCESS) cover my whole undergrad, so I really want to pay off my loans and then jump right into a PhD program. I have brought up the subject with a few people and they told me that it would be very difficult for me to work in the industry for 5-7 years and to come back for the PhD because I do not know if I will have a mortgage or family to support, and the money I would get from the PhD candidate stipend would be a lot less than my salary would be working in the industry.
