Answer 3

The crusades were a number of military campaigns between 1095 and 1291. Most were waged by states in which Roman Christianity was dominant against various Muslim states in the near east, although on more than one occasion the Roman Christian armies came into conflict with Byzantium, an Eastern Christian Empire. The willingness of the Western powers to ally demonstrates the persistent belief in the concept of universal empire rather than demonstrating any real political unity among wester Christians. Several Crusades set up new Christian states in the near east, though all of them eventually fell.

Answer 4

I don't disagree with any of the above answers they but do not mention the crusades undertaken by the Teutonic Knights in Northern Europe - modern Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. These took place from the 12 to 15th century and were. at times, directed against other peoples seen simply as 'pagans' (i.e. not Muslim). England's King Henry IV (before he became King) took part in one such crusade.

Answer 5

they were when christians went to purge the holy land, from non christians. they were in the late 11th century, when pope urban the second called for a holy war against the muslims to take jerusalem. the first crusade was sucessfull, as they took jerusalem, but in 1099 jerusalem was captured back by the muslims, so a second crusade was called in 1147, but the christians had to retreat. this is the most commonly known crusade.

a crusade was basicly a holy war, there was a crusade against heretics in france, another against muslims in spain, and one against pagans in the baltic sea.
