Document 9 states that “In 1240,the Christian Crusaders sacked Constantinople, leaving the city in Ruins and plundering wealth.” This is relevant because It shows us that the violence and atrocities all of the Crusades clearly outweighed the positive and religious points of view that they say they were fighting for. Another example is that in document 10 it states that “ One day I entered the Mosaic, repeated the first Formula, ‘ Allah is great’, and stood up in the act of praying, upon which one of the Franks rushed on me got hold of me and turned my face East words saying “This is the way you should pray!” a group of Templars hastened to him seized him and pushed him away from me. I went back to my prayer.
The Crusades changed the Medieval world, as they set the stage. The Crusades were a huge influence in many areas including: Religion, Expansion, Trade and Economy, Government, Intelligence, and Culture. All of these components play a role in how the Crusades changed the medieval world. Christianity, for one, was incredibly impacted directly by the crusades, as the reason for them was to 'Take back the Holy land'. This caused the Churches to begin to hold more power, as people came to them for answers.
The Crusades changed the medieval world by implementing new political, social, and economic changes and the beneficial events that were caused by them. The relationships that were created between each of the three crusades and the places that were negatively and positively affected were also major parts of the changes the Crusades had on the medieval world. After the Crusades ended, the most recent effect was the change of power between European countries. There has been an increase in the power of Venice, Genoa, and Pisa. “The Muslim world was itself divided into various Muslim sects and beset by political rivalries and competition between cities and regions.”
The crusades impacted the way we live today in many ways. In the outcome, there were both positives and negatives associated with the crusades. It was violent, deceased many, and turned cities into ruins but it also was a job opportunity for merchants and brought many new luxuries to certain places. Some motivation for people to fight in the crusades were different than its organizers. The original reason many wanted to come fight in the crusades is that it would relieve them of all of their sins.
1) The Albigensian Crusade is an example of one religion trying to remove the threat of another religion out of fear that one ideology would affect the other. This crusade is called to be one of the first genocides in European history for its gruesomeness and lack of humanistic behaviours. The Catholics of Northern France set up military campaigns to remove the perceived threat in Southern France. That threat to the Catholics at the time was the spread of Catharism.
Although the Crusades failed the Holy Land, they had a lasting outcome on the way the Europeans lived. This is (important/interesting/relevant) because When the Crusaders returned they Europe they had brought back spices, sugar, and silk; many nobles and merchants enjoyed the new products and wanted more of them Document 2 states that Merchants in Venice and other northern Italian cities built large fleets to carry crusaders to the Holy Land. And later used those fleets to open new markets in the Crusaders’
But just because the Crusades brought along a blessing does not mean that it was excusable. The results of the Crusades may have seemed very beneficial because it “increased trade, ended feudalism, and advanced civilization” as a whole (“Result of the Crusades assignment”). But the deaths and path that led to these unforeseen benefits were just unethical. Those who argue that the Crusades were more of a blessing than a shameful event are partially correct, but the better argument is that the Crusades were more of a shameful event because the ends did not justify the means. The development of the world as we know it wouldn’t be the same without the Crusades.
What modern society can learn from the crusade is that kids can do a lot more than you think. It would also teach them to listen to the children of our era rather than just ignoring them. Another thing that today’s society could learn from this
The end of the 11th century was the beginning of the first campaign called Crusade, which was later followed by other crusades. It was a period of great fighting for the lands and religious ideologies between Christians and Muslims. In other words it was a period of big changes, when thousands of peasants and soldiers died and a lot of towns were devastated. The first crusade was the biggest movement of Christians to Holy land. In comparison with other campaigns it was the most successful.
The crusade was typically made up of peasants due to the numbers of soldiers. Even though the peasants weren’t very skilled, it still the job because in 1099 the Christians beat the Turks and took over the Holy Lands. This was a very important crusade because it slowed down the Muslims for a decent amount of time, it brought Christians together, and it changed the lifestyle of many people throughout that time. Victory was
Since the medieval days, many things have changed. This includes technology, traveling, medicine, doctors, the democratic governments and the list goes on. Thanks to inventers that have helped shape technology, more people have been able to give their ideas and help other people. For example, scientists have grown smarter so we know what’s good for us and what’s not (like smoking) well in the past they was close to no knowledge of science in fact when someone got sick they thout there would go to church and they would tell them they are cursed by god or god did not forgive them. Now day’s even kids know that that is not true which is just one of the improvements.
Medieval Europe was a time of war and conflict between different peoples. One of the most important military endeavors of the time was called the Crusades, which was a campaign of Christian attempts to take Jerusalem from the Muslims, who occupied it at the time. Spread over several hundred years, many bloody battles were fought over the holy city. The Crusades involved the two largest religions on the continent and impacted a massive amount of people. The battles irreparably changed the lives of everyone they touched, turning peasants to knights and nobles to slaves.
In the latter part of the Dark Ages, European society had stopped growing in areas of art, math, and science, due to the collapse of the Roman Empire. Despite the lapse in hygiene and cultural thinking, European STEM was jump-started by a series of wars called The Crusades. When Muslims invaded Israel, the European Christians fought to reclaim the Holy Land, many traveled thousands of miles from their homes to fight in the Mediterranean. When the soldiers arrived they found an entirely new world full of new foods, cultures, ideas, and sciences, they brought parts of the new culture back with them in the form of new spices, new ideas, and new materials (Hoerder). The new spices changed and developed food, new ideas inspired architecture, fashion, social norms, and new materials like silk, jade, and ivory brought new wealth to flood Europe's economy (DeRoo).Through war, Europe had been exposed to places, and goods forgot by their
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.
Weaponry inventions developed due to the Middle Ages being the rife of wars; it changed the way battles were fought. Impressive advances were made in the nautical industry, through navigation,
