Answer 1

Mostly in the Middle East in the modern day areas of Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkey, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Most of the battles took place in the Israel, Syria, Lebanon area with the ultimate goal of Jerusalem of course.

Answer 2

It actually depends on which Crusade you are talking about. There are about a dozen with battles occuring in numerous areas throughout Europe and SW Asia (Middle East). The overall goal of the Crusades were to take back the Holy Land in Jerusalem.

Answer 3

The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character waged by Christians from 1095-1291, usually sanctioned by the Pope in the name of Christendom,[1] with the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the sacred "Holy Land" from Muslim rule and originally launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuq dynasty into Anatolia.[2][3
