impact of crusades?

Question

What do you think are the impacts of the crusades to western civilization?


:) thanks

Answer 1

the whole deal with the Cusades was to get the holy land back from the muslims and the jews. the crusaders said that it was the will of god to do it.
the Crusades led to the Childrens Crusade where they tricked kids about going to fight in the Crusade but instead they put them in a boat and sailed to a different place to sell them for slavery.

the Crusades did influence Europe in a positive way also. when the people came back from the Crusades, they were able to spread the word on how the land in the east was like. this lead to the exploration.

Answer 2

The Crusades, or, more exactly, exposure to the then superior civilisation of Islam, precipitated the Renaissance and the flowering of western civilisation. Muslims preserved many of the ancient texts of Greece and Rome which had been lost in western Europe. Islamic science and mathematics were also far in advance of that of Western Europe. Algebra and the use of zero are two examples of this.

Answer 3

Arthurian legend is the fictional origin of England. The Knights Templar lost the Holy Land to Saladin of Egypt in a series of battles, and were burned on crosses by the pope. A contemporary equivalent of the Knights Templar is the Halliburton corporation. A contemporary equivalent of the Knights of Malta, (Knights Hospitaller), is the Blackwater security agency.
